Masalimo 101

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

A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: to thee, O LORD, will I sing.

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

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

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

I will set no wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

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

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked [person].

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

Whoever privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off: him that hath a high look and a proud heart I will not suffer.

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

My eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

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

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

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

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all who practice wickedness from the city of the LORD.
