Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgement; I will sing a psalm,

Nzembo ya Davidi. Nakoyemba bolingo mpe bosembo; nakoyembela nde Yo, Yawe.

2 and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

Nakolanda na bokebi nzela ya bato oyo bazangi pamela. Okoya epai na ngai tango nini? Kati na ndako na ngai, nakotambola malamu na motema ezangi pamela.

3 I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

Nakotala eloko moko te ya mabe; nayinaka misala ya bato oyo bazangi kondima, ekoki kokangama na ngai te.

4 A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

Mosika na ngai, motema ya kilikili; naboyi kosala mabe.

5 Him that privily speaks against his neighbour, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

Nakosala ete avanda kimia, moto oyo apanzaka, na nkuku, basango ya lokuta mpo na kobebisa lokumu ya baninga. Nakokoka te kotala moto ya lolendo mpe moto ya lofundu.

6 Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

Nakopona nde bato ya sembo kati na mokili mpo ete bavanda pembeni na ngai; moto na etamboli ezanga pamela nde akozala mosali na ngai.

7 The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

Kati na ndako na ngai, mokosi akovanda te; liboso na ngai, mokosi akotelema te.

8 Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.

Tongo nyonso, nakosala ete bato nyonso ya misala mabe kati na mokili bavanda kimia; nakolongola na engumba ya Yawe bato nyonso ya mabe.
