1 Bokumisa Yawe! Esengo na moto oyo atosaka Yawe mpe asepelaka makasi na mibeko na Ye.

Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man, that feareth the Lord, and deliteth greatly in his commandements.

His seede shall be mightie vpon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

3 Ndako na ye ezali na bokolongono mpe na bomengo, mpe bosembo na ye ewumelaka mpo na seko.

Riches and treasures shalbe in his house, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

4 Pole engengaka kati na molili mpo na bato ya alima, mpo na moto oyo alimbisaka baninga, ayokelaka bato mawa mpe azali sembo.

Vnto the righteous ariseth light in darkenes: he is merciful and full of copassion and righteous.

5 Esengo na moto oyo ayokelaka bato mawa mpe adefisaka, mpe asalaka misala na ye kolanda bosembo.

A good man is mercifull and lendeth, and will measure his affaires by iudgement.

6 Solo, aninganaka ata moke te. Bakanisaka misala ya moto ya sembo tango nyonso.

7 Abangaka basango ya mabe te; motema na ye ezali na kimia, atiaka elikya na ye kati na Yawe.

He will not be afraide of euill tidings: for his heart is fixed, and beleeueth in the Lord.

8 Motema na ye eninganaka te, abangaka te kino akomona banguna na ye kozwa etumbu.

His heart is stablished: therefore he will not feare, vntill he see his desire vpon his enemies.

9 Akabelaka babola na motema ya esengo; bosembo na ye ewumelaka libela na libela, lokumu na ye ekitaka te.

He hath distributed and giuen to ye poore: his righteousnesse remaineth for euer: his horne shalbe exalted with glory.

10 Moto mabe amonaka yango mpe asilikaka na zuwa, aliaka minu mpe alembaka nzoto. Posa ya bato mabe elimwaka.

The wicked shall see it and be angrie: he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
