< Psalms 112 >
1 Praise ye Yah! How happy is the man who revereth Yahweh, In his commandments, delighteth he greatly;
Msifuni Yahwe. Amebarikiwa mtu yule anaye mtii Yahwe, apendezwaye sana na amri zake.
2 Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, The generation of the upright, shall be blessed;
Kizazi chake kitakuwa ni chenye nguvu duniani; kizazi cha mcha Mungu kitabarikiwa.
3 Wealth and riches, shall be in his house, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.
Nyumbani mwake mna utajiri na mali; na haki yake itadumu milele.
4 Risen—in darkness, is light to the upright, The gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Nuru huangazia gizani kwa ajili ya mtu mcha Mungu; yeye ni wa fadhili, huruma, na haki.
5 Well for a man showing favour and lending! He shall sustain his affairs with justice.
Heri atendaye fadhili na kukopesha, afanyaye mambo yake kwa uaminifu.
6 Surely, unto times age-abiding, shall he not be shaken, In remembrance, age-abiding, shall the righteous one remain;
Kwa maana hataondoshwa kamwe; mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.
7 Of evil tidings, shall he not be afraid, Established is his heart, led to trust in Yahweh;
Haogopi habari mbaya; ni jasiri, akimtumainia Yahwe.
8 Upheld is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until that he gazeth on his foes.
Moyo wake ni mtulivu, hana woga, mpaka aonapo ushindi dhidi ya watesi wake.
9 He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy, His righteousness, standeth for aye, His horn, shall be exalted in honour.
Huwapa masikini kwa ukarimu; haki yake yadumu milele; atainuliwa kwa heshima.
10 The lawless one, shall see, and be indignant, his teeth, will he gnash and melt away, The craving of the lawless, shall vanish.
Mtu mwovu ataona haya na kukasirika; atasaga meno yake na kuyeyuka; tamaa ya wasio haki itapotea.
