Psalms 85
1 Yhwh, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Yahwe, wewe umeonesha fadhilia kwenye nchi yako; umeurejesha ustawi wa Yakobo.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)
Umesamehe dhambi ya watu wako; umezisitiri dhambi zao zote. (Selah)
3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
Umeondoa ghadhabu yako yote; umeiacha hasira yako kali.
4 Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
Uturejeshe sisi, Ee Mungu wa wokovu wetu, na uikomeshe chuki yako juu yetu.
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
Je! Utaendelea kuwa na hasira juu yetu milele? utadumisha hasira kizazi chote kijacho?
6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?
Je, hautatuhuisha tena? Kisha watu wako watafurahia katika wewe.
7 Shew us thy mercy, O Yhwh, and grant us thy salvation.
Utuoneshe sisi uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, utupe sisi wokovu wako.
8 I will hear what God Yhwh will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.
Nitasikiliza yale Yahwe Mungu asemayo, maana yeye atafanya amani pamoja na watu wake, wafuasi wake waminifu. Lakini lazima wasirudi tena katika njia za kipumbavu.
9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
Hakika wokovu wake u karibu na wale wanao mwabudu yeye; kisha utukufu utabaki katika nchi yetu.
10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Uaminifu wa agano na uaminifu vimekutana pamoja; haki na amani vimebusiana.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
Uaminifu unatoa chemchem kutoka ardhini, na haki hutazama chini kutoka mawinguni.
12 Yea, Yhwh shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
Ndiyo, Yahwe atatoa baraka zake njema, na nchi itatoa mazao yake.
13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
Haki itaenda mbele zake na kufanya njia kwa ajili ya nyayo zake.
