Psalms 85
1 “To the chief musician, by the sons of Korach, a psalm.” Thou hast been favorable, O Lord, 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 over all their sin. (Selah)
Umesamehe dhambi ya watu wako; umezisitiri dhambi zao zote. (Selah)
3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast relinquished the fierceness of thy anger.
Umeondoa ghadhabu yako yote; umeiacha hasira yako kali.
4 Return to us, O God of our salvation, and cause thy ill-will toward us to cease.
Uturejeshe sisi, Ee Mungu wa wokovu wetu, na uikomeshe chuki yako juu yetu.
5 Wilt thou be wroth with us for ever? wilt thou extend thy anger from generation to generation?
Je! Utaendelea kuwa na hasira juu yetu milele? utadumisha hasira kizazi chote kijacho?
6 Wilt thou not [now] revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
Je, hautatuhuisha tena? Kisha watu wako watafurahia katika wewe.
7 Show us thy kindness, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
Utuoneshe sisi uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, utupe sisi wokovu wako.
8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his pious ones: only 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, nigh is his salvation unto those 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 Kindness and truth are met together: righteousness and peace kiss each other.
Uaminifu wa agano na uaminifu vimekutana pamoja; haki na amani vimebusiana.
11 Truth will grow up out of the earth, and righteousness will look down from heaven.
Uaminifu unatoa chemchem kutoka ardhini, na haki hutazama chini kutoka mawinguni.
12 Yea, the Lord will also give the good, and our land will yield its products.
Ndiyo, Yahwe atatoa baraka zake njema, na nchi itatoa mazao yake.
13 Righteousness will walk firmly before him, and will make [level] the way by its steps.
Haki itaenda mbele zake na kufanya njia kwa ajili ya nyayo zake.
