< Psalms 15 >
1 [A Psalm by David.] YHWH, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy mountain?
Zaburi ya Daudi. Yahwe, ni nani atabaki hemani mwako? Ni nani atakaye ishi kwenye mlima wako mtakatifu?
2 He who walks blamelessly and does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart.
Yeyote anaye tembea bila lawama, yeye hufanya kilicho haki na huongea ukweli kutoka moyoni mwake.
3 He doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor lifts up an insult against his neighbor.
Yeye huwa hakashfu kwa ulimi wake, hawadhuru wengine, na hamtusi jirani yake.
4 In his eyes a vile man is despised, but he honors those who fear YHWH. He keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change it.
Mtu asiye na maana hudharauliwa machoni pake, bali yeye huwaheshimu wale wanao mhofu Yahwe. Yeye huapa kwa hasara yake mwenyewe na habadilishi ahadi yake.
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.
Yeye habadilishi nia yake aazimapo fedha. Yeye hachukui rushwa ili kumshuhudia kinyume asiye na hatia. Yeye afanyanyaye mbambo haya hatatikisika kamwe.
