Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the one who doesn't follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join in with scoffers.

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 Jehovah, and on his law he meditates day and night.

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

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither, and whatever he does shall 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 with the wicked; instead, they are like the chaff which the wind drives 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 congregation of the righteous.

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

6 For Jehovah knows 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.
