Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of loving-kindness and judgment: unto thee, Jehovah, will I sing psalms.

He himene na Rawiri. Ka waiatatia e ahau te mahi tohu me te whakawa tika: ka himene atu ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. When wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

Ka ata whakahaere ahau i ahau i runga i te ara tika. A hea koe haere mai ai ki ahau? Ka haereere ahau i roto i toku whare i runga i te ngakau tapatahi.

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

E kore te mea tutua e waiho e ahau i mua i oku kanohi; e kino ana ahau ki te mahi a te hunga peka ke: e kore e piri ki ahau.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil.

Ka mawehe atu i ahau te ngakau parori ke: e kore ahau e mohio ki te mea kino.

5 Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

Ko te tangata e ngautuara puku ana ki tona hoa ka whakangaromia e ahau: e kore ahau e aro ki te tangata kanohi whakakake, ki te tangata ngakau whakapakari.

6 Mine 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.

Kei runga i nga mea pono o te whenua oku kanohi, kia noho ai ratou ki ahau: ko te tangata e haere ana i te ara tika, ka mahi tena ki ahau.

7 He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehoods shall not subsist in my sight.

E kore e noho ki toku whare te kaimahi i te hianga: e kore e tu ki toku aroaro te tangata korero teka.

8 Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land: to cut off all workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.

I tenei ata, i tenei ata, ka whakangaromia e ahau nga tangata kikino katoa o te whenua: kia hatepea atu ai i te pa o te Atua te hunga katoa e mahi ana i te kino.
