A King's Promise
1 My song is about loyalty and justice,
and I sing it to you, O Lord.
2 My conduct will be faultless.
When will you come to me?
I will live a pure life in my house
3 and will never tolerate evil.
I hate the actions of those who turn away from God;
I will have nothing to do with them.
4 I will not be dishonest
and will have no dealings with evil.
5 I will get rid of anyone
who whispers evil things about someone else;
I will not tolerate anyone
who is proud and arrogant.
6 I will approve of those who are faithful to God
and will let them live in my palace.
Those who are completely honest
will be allowed to serve me.
7 No liar will live in my palace;
no hypocrite will remain in my presence.
8 Day after day I will destroy
the wicked in our land;
I will expel all who are evil
from the city of the Lord.
Euvaneko lyomukwaniilwa
Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Omuwa, otandi ku imbile molwesilohenda
nomoluuyuuki woye; otandi ku hambelele.
2 Otandi ikeelele ndi kale ndaa na ombedhi.
Oto ya uunake kungame?
Otandi angala uuwinayi megumbo lyandje,
3 noitandi popile nando uukolokoshi.
lilonga yaashunimonima otandi yi tondo;
noitandi kwatathana nayo
4 Iineya nayi kale ndje kokule;
itandi popile uudhudhu
5 Ngoka ta ningilile mo mukwawo,
otandi mu tidha po.
Itandi gama nando komuholuuntsa nokomwiinomi
6 Otandi gama kwaamboka aainekelwa
notandi ya kaleke mombala yandje.
Mboka yaa na oshipo,
otandi ya ningi aayakuli yandje.
7 Omufundja ita pitikwa,
a kale megumbo lyandje;
omufudhime ita kala koshipala shandje.
8 Esiku kehe otandi kombo mo aakolokoshi moshilongo;
otandi ka tidha mo aadhudhu moshilando shOmuwa.
