Psalms 101

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

Zaburi ya Daudi. Nitaimba juu ya upendo wako na haki yako; kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, nitaimba sifa.

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.

Nitazingatia kuishi maisha yasiyo na lawama: utakuja kwangu lini? Nitatembea nyumbani mwangu kwa moyo usio na lawama.

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

Sitaweka mbele ya macho yangu kitu kiovu. Ninayachukia matendo ya watu wasio na imani; hawatashikamana nami.

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

Moyo wa ukaidi utakuwa mbali nami; nitajitenga na kila ubaya.

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

Kila amsingiziaye jirani yake kwa siri, huyo nitamnyamazisha; mwenye macho ya dharau na moyo wa kiburi huyo sitamvumilia.

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.

Macho yangu yatawaelekea waaminifu katika nchi, ili waweze kuishi pamoja nami; yeye ambaye moyo wake hauna lawama atanitumikia.

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

Mdanganyifu hatakaa nyumbani mwangu, yeye asemaye kwa uongo hatasimama mbele yangu.

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

Kila asubuhi nitawanyamazisha waovu wote katika nchi; nitamkatilia mbali kila mtenda mabaya kutoka mji wa Bwana.
