Psalms 15

1 Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

Zaburi ya Daudi. Yahwe, ni nani atabaki hemani mwako? Ni nani atakaye ishi kwenye mlima wako mtakatifu?

2 Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

Yeyote anaye tembea bila lawama, yeye hufanya kilicho haki na huongea ukweli kutoka moyoni mwake.

3 and they do not slander others. They do not do to others things that are wrong, and they do not say bad things about others.

Yeye huwa hakashfu kwa ulimi wake, hawadhuru wengine, na hamtusi jirani yake.

4 [Godly people] hate those whom God has rejected, but they respect those who revere Yahweh. They do what they have promised to do even if it causes them trouble to do that.

Mtu asiye na maana hudharauliwa machoni pake, bali yeye huwaheshimu wale wanao mhofu Yahwe. Yeye huapa kwa hasara yake mwenyewe na habadilishi ahadi yake.

5 They lend money to others without charging interest, and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done what is wrong. Those who do those things will never stop trusting God [even if disastrous things happen to them].

Yeye habadilishi nia yake aazimapo fedha. Yeye hachukui rushwa ili kumshuhudia kinyume asiye na hatia. Yeye afanyanyaye mbambo haya hatatikisika kamwe.
