Psalms 112

1 Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!

Msifuni Yahwe. Amebarikiwa mtu yule anaye mtii Yahwe, apendezwaye sana na amri zake.

2 Their descendants will prosper in the land; the children of those who do good will be blessed.

Kizazi chake kitakuwa ni chenye nguvu duniani; kizazi cha mcha Mungu kitabarikiwa.

3 Their families will be wealthy; the good they do has eternal results.

Nyumbani mwake mna utajiri na mali; na haki yake itadumu milele.

4 Light shines in the darkness for those who live right, for those who are gracious, compassionate, and good.

Nuru huangazia gizani kwa ajili ya mtu mcha Mungu; yeye ni wa fadhili, huruma, na haki.

5 Good things come to those who are generous in their lending and are honest in doing business.

Heri atendaye fadhili na kukopesha, afanyaye mambo yake kwa uaminifu.

6 They will never fall. Those who live right won't be forgotten.

Kwa maana hataondoshwa kamwe; mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

7 They aren't afraid of bad news because they rely totally on the Lord.

Haogopi habari mbaya; ni jasiri, akimtumainia Yahwe.

8 They are confident and brave, and see their enemies defeated.

Moyo wake ni mtulivu, hana woga, mpaka aonapo ushindi dhidi ya watesi wake.

9 They share generously, giving to the poor; the good they do has eternal results. They are greatly respected.

Huwapa masikini kwa ukarimu; haki yake yadumu milele; atainuliwa kwa heshima.

10 The wicked observe all this and are mad; they gnash their teeth in anger. They waste away, and all that they hoped for comes to nothing.

Mtu mwovu ataona haya na kukasirika; atasaga meno yake na kuyeyuka; tamaa ya wasio haki itapotea.
