Masalimo 101

1 Salimo la Davide. Ndidzayimba za chikondi ndi chiweruzo chanu cholungama; kwa Inu Yehova ndidzayimba matamando.

A Psalm of David himself. I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord. I will sing psalms.

2 Ndidzatsata njira yolungama; nanga mudzabwera liti kwa ine? Ndidzayenda mʼnyumba mwanga ndi mtima wosalakwa.

And I will have understanding within the immaculate way, when you will draw near to me. I wandered about in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 Sindidzayika chinthu chilichonse choyipa pamaso panga. Ine ndimadana ndi zochita za anthu opanda chikhulupiriro; iwo sadzadziphatika kwa ine.

I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. I have hated those carrying out betrayals.

4 Anthu a mtima wokhota adzakhala kutali ndi ine; ine sindidzalola choyipa chilichonse kulowa mwa ine.

The perverse heart did not adhere to me. And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.

5 Aliyense wosinjirira mnansi wake mseri ameneyo ndidzamuletsa; aliyense amene ali ndi maso amwano ndi mtima wodzikuza, ameneyo sindidzamulekerera.

The one who secretly detracted his neighbor, this one I pursued. The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, with that one I would not eat.

6 Maso anga adzakhala pa okhulupirika mʼdziko, kuti akhale pamodzi ndi ine; iye amene mayendedwe ake ndi wosalakwa adzanditumikira.

My eyes looked toward the faithful of the earth, to sit with me. The one walking in the immaculate way, this one ministered to me.

7 Aliyense wochita chinyengo sadzakhala mʼnyumba mwanga. Aliyense woyankhula mwachinyengo sadzayima pamaso panga.

He who has acted arrogantly will not dwell in the midst of my house. He who has spoken iniquity was not guided with the sight of my eyes.

8 Mmawa uliwonse ndidzatontholetsa anthu onse oyipa mʼdziko; ndidzachotsa aliyense wochita zoyipa mu mzinda wa Yehova.

In the morning, I executed all the sinners of the earth, so that I might scatter all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
