Psalms 1

1 O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat 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 the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by night:

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

3 And he has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to prosper.

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: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

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

5 Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,

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

6 For YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

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