Psalms 101

1 David’s. A Melody. Of lovingkindness and of justice, will I sing! Unto thee, O Yahweh, will I touch the strings!

Nzembo ya Davidi. Nakoyemba bolingo mpe bosembo; nakoyembela nde Yo, Yawe.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a blameless way, When wilt thou come in unto me? I will walk to and fro in the blamelessness of my heart, —in the midst of my house:

Nakolanda na bokebi nzela ya bato oyo bazangi pamela. Okoya epai na ngai tango nini? Kati na ndako na ngai, nakotambola malamu na motema ezangi pamela.

3 I will not set before mine eyes, a vile thing, —The doing of them who fall away, I hate, It shall not cleave unto me;

Nakotala eloko moko te ya mabe; nayinaka misala ya bato oyo bazangi kondima, ekoki kokangama na ngai te.

4 A perverse heart, shall depart from me, A maker of mischief, will I not acknowledge;

Mosika na ngai, motema ya kilikili; naboyi kosala mabe.

5 He that uttereth slander in secret against his friend, him, will I root out; One of lofty eyes, and of an ambitious heart, him shall I not be able to endure.

Nakosala ete avanda kimia, moto oyo apanzaka, na nkuku, basango ya lokuta mpo na kobebisa lokumu ya baninga. Nakokoka te kotala moto ya lolendo mpe moto ya lofundu.

6 Mine eyes, shall be upon the faithful of the land, That they may dwell with me, —he that walketh in a blameless way, he, shall attend me.

Nakopona nde bato ya sembo kati na mokili mpo ete bavanda pembeni na ngai; moto na etamboli ezanga pamela nde akozala mosali na ngai.

7 There shall not dwell in the midst of my house, One who worketh deceit, —he that speaketh falsehoods, shall not be established before mine eyes;

Kati na ndako na ngai, mokosi akovanda te; liboso na ngai, mokosi akotelema te.

8 Morning by morning, will I uproot, All the lawless ones of the land, That I may cut off, out of the city of Yahweh—All the workers of iniquity.

Tongo nyonso, nakosala ete bato nyonso ya misala mabe kati na mokili bavanda kimia; nakolongola na engumba ya Yawe bato nyonso ya mabe.
