Psalms 15

1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tabernacle? and who shall dwell in your holy mountain?

Nkosi, ngubani ozahlala ethenteni lakho? Ngubani ozakwakha entabeni yakho engcwele?

2 He that walks blameless, and works righteousness, who speaks truth in his heart.

Ngulowo ohamba ngobuqotho, lowenza okulungileyo, lokhuluma iqiniso enhliziyweni yakhe,

3 Who has not spoken craftily with is tongue, neither has done evil to his neighbor, nor taken up a reproach against them that lived nearest to him.

ongahlebiyo ngolimi lwakhe, ongenzi okubi kumngane wakhe, longaphakamiseli umakhelwane wakhe ihlazo;

4 In his sight an evil-worker is set at nothing, but he honors them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbor, and disappoints [him] not.

olahliweyo uyenyanyeka emehlweni akhe, kodwa uyabahlonipha abayesabayo iNkosi; ofunga ngokuzilimaza, kodwa kaphenduki,

5 He has not lent his money on usury, and has not received bribes against the innocent. He that does these things shall never be moved.

onganiki imali yakhe ukuthi azuze inzuzo, longemukeli umvuzo wokuthengwa ngongelacala. Owenza lezizinto kayikunyikinywa kuze kube nininini.
