Thaburi 101

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Niĩ ndĩinaga ũhoro wa wendo na wa kĩhooto gĩaku; Wee Jehova nĩwe ndĩrĩgoocaga na rwĩmbo.

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

2 Nĩngwĩmenyerera ndũũre mũtũũrĩre ũtarĩ ũcuuke: nĩ rĩ ũgaagĩũka kũrĩ niĩ? Nĩndĩrĩikaraga mũciĩ gwakwa ndĩ na ngoro ĩtarĩ ũcuuke.

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

3 Gũtirĩ ũndũ mũũru ndĩrĩigaga mbere ya maitho makwa. Nĩthũire ciĩko cia andũ arĩa matarĩ wĩtĩkio; ndingĩĩtĩkĩra menyiitĩrĩre harĩ niĩ.

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

4 Ndĩrĩikaraga haraihu na andũ arĩa marĩ ngoro nemi; ũũru-rĩ, ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaanyiitanĩra naguo.

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

5 Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩcambia mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake na hitho, ũcio nĩngamũniina; mũndũ o wothe ũrĩ maitho ma rũngʼathio na ngoro ya mwĩtĩĩo, ũcio ndikamũkirĩrĩria.

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

6 Maitho makwa-rĩ, marĩroraga andũ arĩa ehokeku bũrũri-inĩ, nĩguo maikaranagie na niĩ; mũndũ ũrĩa mĩthiĩre yake ĩtarĩ ũcuuke-rĩ, ũcio nĩarĩndungatagĩra.

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.

7 Gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩkaga maũndũ ma mawara ũgaikara nyũmba-inĩ yakwa; gũtirĩ mũndũ waragia maheeni ũkaarũgama mbere yakwa.

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

8 O rũciinĩ nĩndĩrĩkiragia arĩa othe aaganu bũrũri-inĩ; nĩngeheria andũ arĩa othe mekaga ũũru mathire itũũra-inĩ rĩrĩa inene rĩa Jehova.

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