Masalimo 15

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

A psalm of David. Yahweh, who may stay in your tabernacle? Who may live on your holy hill?

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

Whoever walks blamelessly, does what is right and speaks truth from his heart.

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

He does not slander with his tongue, he does not harm others, and he does not insult his neighbor.

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

The worthless person is despised in his eyes, but he honors those who fear Yahweh. He swears to his own disadvantage and does not take back his promises.

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

He does not charge interest when he lends money. He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
