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]).

I pan kauleki duen kalangan o pung; i pan kauleki psalm akan ong komui. Maing Ieowa.

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.

I men inen eweita ni al pung — iad kom pan koti dong ia? — i men weweid ni melel ren toun im ai.

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).

I sota men wia morsued; i tataki wiawian me dipan akan, a sota pan pat ong ia.

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

Mongiong sapung pan muei sang ia; i sota men asa duen me sued.

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].

Me kin rir karaunemali men impa, i pan kamela; i suedeki me aklapalap ni mas ar o mongiong arail.

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).

Mas ai pan apapwali me melel akan nan sap o, pwe ren kauson re i; me kin weweid ni al pung, pan papa ia.

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.

Me kin kotaue, sota pan kauson nan im ai, me kin likam, sota pan pwaida mon mas ai.

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.

Ni mansang karos i pan kawela me katiwo nan sap o, pwen kokosang kanim en Ieowa karos, me kin wia sapung.
