Psalms 101

1 A psalm of David. I will sing of covenant faithfulness and justice; to you, Yahweh, I will sing praises.

Faarfannaa Daawit. Ani jaalala keetii fi murtii kee qajeelaa sanaaf nan faarfadha; Yaa Waaqayyo ani siif nan faarfadha.

2 I will walk in the way of integrity. Oh, when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity within my house.

Ani jireenya hirʼina hin qabne jiraachuuf of nan eeggadha; ati yoom gara koo dhufta? Ani garaa qulqulluudhaan, mana koo nan jiraadha.

3 I will not put wrongdoing before my eyes; I hate worthless evil; it will not cling to me.

Ani ija koo dura, waan hamaa hin kaaʼu. Hojii jalʼootaa nan jibba; nattis hin qabatu.

4 Perverse people will leave me; I am not loyal to evil.

Namoonni yaada micciiramaa qaban narraa haa fagaatan; ani jalʼina wajjin tokkummaa hin qabaadhu.

5 I will destroy whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate anyone who has a proud demeanor and an arrogant attitude.

Nama dhoksaan ollaa isaa hamatu kam iyyuu, ani afaan nan qabachiisa; nama tuffiin nama ilaaluu fi kan garaa of tuulu qabuuf, ani obsa hin qabaadhu.

6 I will look to the faithful of the land to sit at my side. Those who walk in the way of integrity may serve me.

Akka isaan na wajjin jiraataniif, iji koo amanamoota biyyattii irra jiraatti; namni karaa qajeelaa irra deemu, inni na tajaajila.

7 Deceitful people will not remain within my house; liars will not be welcome before my eyes.

Namni nama gowwoomsu tokko iyyuu mana koo keessa hin jiraatu; namni soba dubbatu tokko iyyuu fuula koo dura hin dhaabatu.

8 Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked from the land; I will remove all evildoers from the city of Yahweh.

Ani jalʼoota biyyattii hunda, ganama ganama nan barbadeessa; warra waan hamaa hojjetan magaalaa Waaqayyoo keessaa nan balleessa.
