Psalms 101

1 [A Psalm by David.] I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, YHWH, I will sing praises.

He himene na Rawiri. Ka waiatatia e ahau te mahi tohu me te whakawa tika: ka himene atu ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa.

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.

Ka ata whakahaere ahau i ahau i runga i te ara tika. A hea koe haere mai ai ki ahau? Ka haereere ahau i roto i toku whare i runga i te ngakau tapatahi.

3 I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

E kore te mea tutua e waiho e ahau i mua i oku kanohi; e kino ana ahau ki te mahi a te hunga peka ke: e kore e piri ki ahau.

4 A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

Ka mawehe atu i ahau te ngakau parori ke: e kore ahau e mohio ki te mea kino.

5 I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.

Ko te tangata e ngautuara puku ana ki tona hoa ka whakangaromia e ahau: e kore ahau e aro ki te tangata kanohi whakakake, ki te tangata ngakau whakapakari.

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.

Kei runga i nga mea pono o te whenua oku kanohi, kia noho ai ratou ki ahau: ko te tangata e haere ana i te ara tika, ka mahi tena ki ahau.

7 He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.

E kore e noho ki toku whare te kaimahi i te hianga: e kore e tu ki toku aroaro te tangata korero teka.

8 Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land; to cut off all evildoers from YHWH's city.

I tenei ata, i tenei ata, ka whakangaromia e ahau nga tangata kikino katoa o te whenua: kia hatepea atu ai i te pa o te Atua te hunga katoa e mahi ana i te kino.
