Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;

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 Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

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

3 And he [is] as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.

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 The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

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

5 Therefore the wicked shall 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 Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

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