Psalms 15

1 [A Psalm by David.] LORD, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?

He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, ko wai e noho ki tou tapenakara? Ko wai e noho ki tou maunga tapu?

2 He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart.

Ko ia he tapatahi nei te haere, he tika te mahi, he korero pono ano i roto i tona ngakau.

3 He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.

Kahore nei e ngautuara tona arero, kahore e kino te mahi ki tona hoa, kahore ana ingoa kino mo tona hoa.

4 In his eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear the LORD. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.

E whakahengia ana te tangata kino e ona kanohi, e whakahonoretia ana ia e ia te hunga e wehi ana ki a Ihowa. Ahakoa mate i tana oati, kahore e whakapaheketia e ia.

5 He doesn't lend out his money for interest, nor take a bribe against the innocent. The one who does these things will never be upended.

Kahore e tuku i tana moni hei moni whakatupu; kahore hoki e tango i te moni hei utu mate mo te tangata harakore. Ki te penei te mahi a tetahi, e kore ia e whakakorikoria ake ake.
