Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wowo wunkambu landakananga zindongi zi batu bambimbi, wunkambu telamanga mu nzila yi minsumuki, ayi wunkambu vuandanga va kimosi ayi mimvuezi.

2 But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.

Vayi wummonanga khini mu mina mi Yave ayi wunyindulanga miawu muini ayi builu.

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

Mutu beni widi banga nti wukunu va muenda nlangu; wowo wumbutanga makundi mu tsungi andi ayi meza mandi mayumanga ko; weti mona mamboti mu mamo keti vanganga.

4 Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

Vayi buawu ko buididi kuidi batu bambimbi, badi banga biti bivevumunu kuidi phemo.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Diawu, batu bambimbi balendi telama ko mu lumbu ki tsambusu, voti bankua masumu mu lukutukunu lu batu basonga.

6 For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Bila Yave zebi nzila yi batu basonga, vayi nzila yi batu bambimbi yela biva.
