Psalms 101

1 A psalm of David. I will sing of your faithful love and good judgment. I will sing praises to you, Lord.

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

2 I will make sure my life is blameless. When will you come and help me? My life will be one of integrity even in private.

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 will not look at anything evil. I hate doing wrong—I won't have anything to do with it.

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

4 I won't think bad thoughts—I won't even consider anything evil.

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

5 I will silence anyone who secretly slanders their neighbor. I won't tolerate anyone who is proud and arrogant.

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 I look for faithful people to live with me; only those who are trustworthy will serve 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 No one who is dishonest will live in my house; no liars will be allowed in my presence.

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

8 I work every day to silence the wicked in the land, to rid the city of the Lord of all who do evil.

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