Psalms 1

1 O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

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 — in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

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

3 And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth 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 — as chaff that wind driveth away!

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

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

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

6 For Jehovah 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.
