Zaburi Sya Daud 1
1
Beatus vir, qui non abiit, & c.
1Wakusenga uyu na kugendagenda pa luhala lua kupangana lwa wawifu, na pa ndila ya wene sambi nu kuyima:
Na pa kutamila pasi pa wakugesa na kutama pasi.
2Koma pa torah lya Bambo agana:
Ni pa torah lyake agalisa musi ni kilo.
3Na yatame ngati libihi lyakupandika pa mikuka ya machi:
Ugu upambika fyakupambika fyake pa lukumbi lwake.
4Ni lihamba lyake kawili langafyota:
Ni kindu kiyii kyoha akikita yakifwanikile.
5Nukuya wiwi wakuwipa:
Koma ngati makupati gala mpungu uyeyalula.
6Mumu wakuwipa nu kuyima pa kulamula:
Haka wene sambi pa chengo kya wala wakukita malinga.
7Ndawa Bambo amanya ndila ya wakukita malinga:
Koma ndila ya wakuwipa yayitagike.
