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]).

Salamo nataon’ i Davida.

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.

Hitandrina ny lalana marina aho; Rahoviana no ho tonga atỳ amiko Hianao? Handeha amin’ ny fahitsian’ ny foko ao anatin’ ny tranoko aho.

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).

Tsy hampitoetra zava-dratsy eo anoloan’ ny masoko aho; Halako ny mivadika, Tsy hikambana amiko izany.

4 I will not be dishonest, and I will not have anything to do with evil (OR, evil people).

Ny fo maditra hiala amiko; Tsy hankasitraka iza ratsy aho,

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].

Izay manendrikendrika ny namany mangingina dia hofongorako; Tsy tohako izay miandranandrana sy miavonavona am-po;

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).

Ny masoko hijery izay olo-mahatoky amin’ ny tany mba hitoerany ato amiko; Izay mandeha amin’ ny lalana marina no hanompo ahy.

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.

Tsy mba hitoetra ao anatin’ ny tranoko izay manao fitaka; Tsy mba hijanona eo anoloan’ ny masoko izay milaza lainga.

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.

Haringako isa-maraina ny ratsy fanahy rehetra amin’ ny tany, Mba hofongorako ny mpanao ratsy rehetra tsy ho ao an-tanànan’ i Jehovah.
