Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises.

Salimo la Davide. Ndidzayimba za chikondi ndi chiweruzo chanu cholungama; kwa Inu Yehova ndidzayimba matamando.

2 I will give heed unto the way of integrity; Oh when wilt Thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

Ndidzatsata njira yolungama; nanga mudzabwera liti kwa ine? Ndidzayenda mʼnyumba mwanga ndi mtima wosalakwa.

3 I will set no base thing before mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me.

Sindidzayika chinthu chilichonse choyipa pamaso panga. Ine ndimadana ndi zochita za anthu opanda chikhulupiriro; iwo sadzadziphatika kwa ine.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil thing.

Anthu a mtima wokhota adzakhala kutali ndi ine; ine sindidzalola choyipa chilichonse kulowa mwa ine.

5 Whoso slandereth his neighbour in secret, him will I destroy; whoso is haughty of eye and proud of heart, him will I not suffer.

Aliyense wosinjirira mnansi wake mseri ameneyo ndidzamuletsa; aliyense amene ali ndi maso amwano ndi mtima wodzikuza, ameneyo sindidzamulekerera.

6 Mine eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walketh in a way of integrity, he shall minister unto me.

Maso anga adzakhala pa okhulupirika mʼdziko, kuti akhale pamodzi ndi ine; iye amene mayendedwe ake ndi wosalakwa adzanditumikira.

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

Aliyense wochita chinyengo sadzakhala mʼnyumba mwanga. Aliyense woyankhula mwachinyengo sadzayima pamaso panga.

8 Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.

Mmawa uliwonse ndidzatontholetsa anthu onse oyipa mʼdziko; ndidzachotsa aliyense wochita zoyipa mu mzinda wa Yehova.
