Zaburi 101

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

I will sing of mercy and judgment: to you, O LORD, will I sing.

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

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

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

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

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

A fraudulent heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

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

Whoever privately slanders his neighbor, him will I cut off: him that has an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

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

My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walks in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

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

He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight.

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

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
