Psalms 101

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

Zaburi ya Daudi. Nitaimba juu ya upendo wako na haki yako; kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, nitaimba sifa.

2 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.

Nitazingatia kuishi maisha yasiyo na lawama: utakuja kwangu lini? Nitatembea nyumbani mwangu kwa moyo usio na lawama.

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

Sitaweka mbele ya macho yangu kitu kiovu. Ninayachukia matendo ya watu wasio na imani; hawatashikamana nami.

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

Moyo wa ukaidi utakuwa mbali nami; nitajitenga na kila ubaya.

5 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.

Kila amsingiziaye jirani yake kwa siri, huyo nitamnyamazisha; mwenye macho ya dharau na moyo wa kiburi huyo sitamvumilia.

6 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.

Macho yangu yatawaelekea waaminifu katika nchi, ili waweze kuishi pamoja nami; yeye ambaye moyo wake hauna lawama atanitumikia.

7 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.

Mdanganyifu hatakaa nyumbani mwangu, yeye asemaye kwa uongo hatasimama mbele yangu.

8 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.

Kila asubuhi nitawanyamazisha waovu wote katika nchi; nitamkatilia mbali kila mtenda mabaya kutoka mji wa Bwana.
