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]).

Ho saboeko ty fiferenaiñañe naho ty fizakàn-to, Ihe ry Iehovà ro isaboako

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.

Hambenako ty lalan-kavañonañe; ombia irehe te homb’amako? Handenako an-kazavàn-troke an-trañoko ao.

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 ampipohako raha tsy manjofake aolo’ o masokoo. hejeko ty sata’ o mpiolao; tsy hipitek’ amako zay.

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

Hitotse ahy ty tro mirioñe; hamoeako ze atao raty.

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].

Ze mifosa ondatio, ie ty harotsako; hejeko ty maso miengeñe naho ty troke mikoìboke.

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).

Amo migahiñe an-tane atoio o masokoo, hiharoa’ iareo fimoneñañe, hitoroñe ahy ty mañavelo an-kahiti’e.

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 hitobok’ an-trañoko ao ty mitolom-pamañahiañe; tsy ho tambatse aolo’ o masokoo ty mpivolam-bande.

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.

Ho zamaneko boa-maraindray o lo-tserek’ amy taneio; haitoako ami’ty rova’ Iehovà o mpitolon-katsivokarañeo.
