< Psalms 101 >
1 [A Psalm by David.] I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, YHWH, I will sing praises.
Thaburi ya Daudi Niĩ ndĩinaga ũhoro wa wendo na wa kĩhooto gĩaku; Wee Jehova nĩwe ndĩrĩgoocaga na rwĩmbo.
2 I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
Nĩngwĩmenyerera ndũũre mũtũũrĩre ũtarĩ ũcuuke: nĩ rĩ ũgaagĩũka kũrĩ niĩ? Nĩndĩrĩikaraga mũciĩ gwakwa ndĩ na ngoro ĩtarĩ ũcuuke.
3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.
Gũtirĩ ũndũ mũũru ndĩrĩigaga mbere ya maitho makwa. Nĩthũire ciĩko cia andũ arĩa matarĩ wĩtĩkio; ndingĩĩtĩkĩra menyiitĩrĩre harĩ niĩ.
4 A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.
Ndĩrĩikaraga haraihu na andũ arĩa marĩ ngoro nemi; ũũru-rĩ, ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaanyiitanĩra naguo.
5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.
Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩcambia mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake na hitho, ũcio nĩngamũniina; mũndũ o wothe ũrĩ maitho ma rũngʼathio na ngoro ya mwĩtĩĩo, ũcio ndikamũkirĩrĩria.
6 My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.
Maitho makwa-rĩ, marĩroraga andũ arĩa ehokeku bũrũri-inĩ, nĩguo maikaranagie na niĩ; mũndũ ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yake ĩtarĩ ũcuuke-rĩ, ũcio nĩarĩndungatagĩra.
7 He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩkaga maũndũ ma mawara ũgaikara nyũmba-inĩ yakwa; gũtirĩ mũndũ waragia maheeni ũkaarũgama mbere yakwa.
8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all evildoers from YHWH's city.
O rũciinĩ nĩndĩrĩkiragia arĩa othe aaganu bũrũri-inĩ; nĩngeheria andũ arĩa othe mekaga ũũru mathire itũũra-inĩ rĩrĩa inene rĩa Jehova.
