What God Requires
1 Lord, who may enter your Temple?
Who may worship on Zion, your sacred hill?
2 Those who obey God in everything
and always do what is right,
whose words are true and sincere,
3 and who do not slander others.
They do no wrong to their friends
nor spread rumors about their neighbors.
4 They despise those whom God rejects,
but honor those who obey the Lord.
They always do what they promise,
no matter how much it may cost.
5 They make loans without charging interest
and cannot be bribed to testify against the innocent.
Whoever does these things will always be secure.

1 Hee Yaawe*, jumaa le si tara noo i batudulaa kono?
Jumaa le si sabati noo i la konko senuŋo* kaŋ?
2 Wo mu moo le ti meŋ baluuñaa maŋ sootaaroo soto,

5 A buka a la kodoo dontolaa ka lankaŋo ñini,

Moo meŋ ka kuwolu taamandi teŋ,
