Zabbuli 101

1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Nnaayimbanga ku kwagala kwo n’obutuukirivu bwo; nnaayimbiranga ggwe, Ayi Mukama.

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

2 Nneegenderezanga, mu bulamu bwange ne nkola eby’obutuukirivu, naye olijja ddi gye ndi? Nnaabeeranga mu nnyumba yange nga siriiko kya kunenyezebwa.

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

3 Sijjanga kwereetereza kintu kyonna ekibi. Nkyayira ddala ebikolwa by’abo abava mu kkubo lyo; sijjanga kubyeteekako.

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

4 Sijjanga kuba mukuusa; ekibi nnaakyewaliranga ddala.

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

5 Oyo alyolyoma muliraanwa we mu kyama, nnaamuzikiririzanga ddala; amaaso ag’amalala n’omutima ogw’amalala sijja kubigumiikirizanga.

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

6 Abeesigwa abali mu nsi yaffe nnaabasanyukiranga, balyoke babeerenga nange; akola eby’obutuukirivu y’anamperezanga.

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 Atayogera mazima taabeerenga mu nnyumba yange. Omuntu alimba sirimuganya kwongera kubeera nange.

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

8 Buli nkya nnaazikirizanga abakola ebibi bonna mu nsi, bwe ntyo abakozi b’ebibi ne mbamalirawo ddala mu kibuga kya Mukama.

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