Psalms 101
1 Yahweh, I will sing to you! I will sing about [your] faithfully loving [us] (OR, my being loyal to you and acting justly/fairly [toward people]).
Nzembo ya Davidi. Nakoyemba bolingo mpe bosembo; nakoyembela nde Yo, Yawe.
2 [I promise that] while I rule people [MTY], I will behave in such a way that no one will be able to criticize me. Yahweh, (when will you come to [help] me?/I need you to come to [help] me.) [RHQ] I will do things that are right.
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 allow stay away from those who do what is evil [SYN]. I hate the deeds of those who ([turn away from/sin against]) you; I will (completely avoid those people/not allow those people to come near me).
Nakotala eloko moko te ya mabe; nayinaka misala ya bato oyo bazangi kondima, ekoki kokangama na ngai te.
4 I will not be dishonest, and I will not have anything to do with evil (OR, evil people).
Mosika na ngai, motema ya kilikili; naboyi kosala mabe.
5 I will get rid of anyone who secretly slanders someone else, and I will not (tolerate/allow to be near me) anyone who is proud and arrogant [DOU].
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 I will approve of [IDM] people in this land who (are loyal to/faithfully [obey]) [God], and I will allow them to (live with/work for) me. I will allow those who behave in such a way that no one can criticize them to (serve me/be my officials).
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 I will not allow anyone who deceives others to work in my palace; no one who tells lies will be allowed to continually come to [work for] me.
Kati na ndako na ngai, mokosi akovanda te; liboso na ngai, mokosi akotelema te.
8 Every day I will [try to] get rid of all the wicked people in this land; I will [do that by] expelling them from [this] city, which is Yahweh’s city.
Tongo nyonso, nakosala ete bato nyonso ya misala mabe kati na mokili bavanda kimia; nakolongola na engumba ya Yawe bato nyonso ya mabe.
