Psalms 101

1 A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.

Zaburi ya Daudi. Nitaimba juu ya upendo wako na haki yako; kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, nitaimba sifa.

2 I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

Nitazingatia kuishi maisha yasiyo na lawama: utakuja kwangu lini? Nitatembea nyumbani mwangu kwa moyo usio na lawama.

3 I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

Sitaweka mbele ya macho yangu kitu kiovu. Ninayachukia matendo ya watu wasio na imani; hawatashikamana nami.

4 A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.

Moyo wa ukaidi utakuwa mbali nami; nitajitenga na kila ubaya.

5 Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.

Kila amsingiziaye jirani yake kwa siri, huyo nitamnyamazisha; mwenye macho ya dharau na moyo wa kiburi huyo sitamvumilia.

6 Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

Macho yangu yatawaelekea waaminifu katika nchi, ili waweze kuishi pamoja nami; yeye ambaye moyo wake hauna lawama atanitumikia.

7 He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.

Mdanganyifu hatakaa nyumbani mwangu, yeye asemaye kwa uongo hatasimama mbele yangu.

8 At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!

Kila asubuhi nitawanyamazisha waovu wote katika nchi; nitamkatilia mbali kila mtenda mabaya kutoka mji wa Bwana.
