Psalms 15

1 A psalm of David. Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? or who shall rest in thy holy hill?

Zaburi ya Daudi. Yahwe, ni nani atabaki hemani mwako? Ni nani atakaye ishi kwenye mlima wako mtakatifu?

2 He that walketh without blemish, and worketh justice:

Yeyote anaye tembea bila lawama, yeye hufanya kilicho haki na huongea ukweli kutoka moyoni mwake.

3 He that speaketh truth in his heart, who hath not used deceit in his tongue: Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.

Yeye huwa hakashfu kwa ulimi wake, hawadhuru wengine, na hamtusi jirani yake.

4 In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not;

Mtu asiye na maana hudharauliwa machoni pake, bali yeye huwaheshimu wale wanao mhofu Yahwe. Yeye huapa kwa hasara yake mwenyewe na habadilishi ahadi yake.

5 He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent: He that doth these things shall not be moved for ever.

Yeye habadilishi nia yake aazimapo fedha. Yeye hachukui rushwa ili kumshuhudia kinyume asiye na hatia. Yeye afanyanyaye mbambo haya hatatikisika kamwe.
