Zaburi 101

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

A Psalm. Of David. I will make a song of mercy and righteousness; to you, O Lord, will I make melody.

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

I will do wisely in the way of righteousness: O when will you come to me? I will be walking in my house with a true heart.

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

I will not put any evil thing before my eyes; I am against all turning to one side; I will not have it near me.

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

The false heart I will send away from me: I will not have an evil-doer for a friend.

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

I will put to death anyone who says evil of his neighbour secretly; the man with a high look and a heart of pride is disgusting to me.

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

My eyes will be on those of good faith in the land, so that they may be living in my house; he who is walking in the right way will be my servant.

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

The worker of deceit will not come into my house; the false man will have no place before my eyes.

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

Morning by morning will I put to death all the sinners in the land, so that all evil-doers may be cut off from Jerusalem.
