Masalimo 15

1 Salimo la Davide. Yehova, ndani angathe kukhala mʼmalo anu opatulika? Kodi ndani angathe kukhala mʼphiri lanu loyera?

A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in the hill of thy holiness?

2 Munthu wa makhalidwe abwino, amene amachita zolungama, woyankhula choonadi chochokera mu mtima mwake,

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth from his heart.

3 ndipo mʼkamwa mwake simutuluka mawu osinjirira, amene sachitira choyipa mnansi wake kapena kufalitsa mbiri yoyipa ya munthu mnzake,

[He that] slandereth not with his tongue, doeth not evil to his companion, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour;

4 amene sapereka ulemu kwa munthu woyipa. Koma amalemekeza amene amaopa Yehova, amene amakwaniritsa zomwe walonjeza ngakhale pamene zikumupweteka,

In whose eyes the depraved person is contemned, and who honoureth them that fear Jehovah; who, if he have sworn to his own hurt, changeth it not;

5 amene amakongoletsa ndalama zake popanda chiwongoladzanja ndipo salandira chiphuphu pofuna kutsutsa anthu osalakwa. Iye amene amachita zinthu zimenezi sadzagwedezeka konse.

[He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be moved.
