Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: to thee, O LORD, will I sing.

Nitaimba uaminifu wa agano lako na hukumu; kwako, Ee Yahwe, Nitakuimbia sifa.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

Nitatembea katika njia ya uadilifu. Oh, ni lini utakuja kwangu? Nitatembea kwa uadilifu ndani ya nyumba yangu.

3 I will set no wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

Sitaweka matendo maovu mbele ya macho yangu; ninachukia uovu usio na maana; hauta shikamana nami.

4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked [person].

Watu waliopotoka wataniacha mimi; mimi sichangamani na uovu.

5 Whoever privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off: him that hath a high look and a proud heart I will not suffer.

Nitamwangamiza yeyote amsengenyaye jirani yake kwa siri. Sitamvumilia yeyote mwenye kiburi.

6 My eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

Nitawachagua walio waaminifu katika nchi wakae upande wangu. Wale watembeao katika njia ya uhadilifu watanitumikia.

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

Watu wadanganyifu hawatabaki ndani ya nyumba yangu; waongo hawatakaribishwa mbele ya macho yangu.

8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all who practice wickedness from the city of the LORD.

Asubuhi hata asubuhi nitawaangamiza waovu wote kutoka nchini; nitawaondoa watendao maovu wote katika mji wa Yahwe.
