Psalms 85

1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.

Yahwe, wewe umeonesha fadhilia kwenye nchi yako; umeurejesha ustawi wa Yakobo.

2 Thou hast borne away 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 gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

Umeondoa ghadhabu yako yote; umeiacha hasira yako kali.

4 Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

Uturejeshe sisi, Ee Mungu wa wokovu wetu, na uikomeshe chuki yako juu yetu.

5 To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

Je! Utaendelea kuwa na hasira juu yetu milele? utadumisha hasira kizazi chote kijacho?

6 Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

Je, hautatuhuisha tena? Kisha watu wako watafurahia katika wewe.

7 Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

Utuoneshe sisi uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, utupe sisi wokovu wako.

8 I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back 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 Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour 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 have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

Uaminifu wa agano na uaminifu vimekutana pamoja; haki na amani vimebusiana.

11 Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

Uaminifu unatoa chemchem kutoka ardhini, na haki hutazama chini kutoka mawinguni.

12 Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.

Ndiyo, Yahwe atatoa baraka zake njema, na nchi itatoa mazao yake.

13 Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!

Haki itaenda mbele zake na kufanya njia kwa ajili ya nyayo zake.
