Zaburi 112

1 Msifuni Bwana. Heri mtu yule amchaye Bwana, mtu yule apendezwaye sana na amri zake.

Alleluia. Of the return of Haggai and Zachariah. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord. He will prefer his commandments exceedingly.

2 Watoto wake watakuwa wenye uwezo katika nchi, kizazi cha watu waadilifu kitabarikiwa.

His offspring will be powerful on the earth. The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Nyumbani mwake kuna mali na utajiri, haki yake hudumu milele.

Glory and wealth will be in his house, and his justice shall remain from age to age.

4 Hata gizani nuru humzukia mtu mwadilifu, yule mwenye rehema, huruma na haki.

For the upright, a light has risen up in the darkness. He is merciful and compassionate and just.

5 Mema yatamjia mtu yule aliye mkarimu na mwenye kukopesha bila riba, anayefanya mambo yake kwa haki.

Pleasing is the man who shows mercy and lends. He will order his words with judgment.

6 Hakika hatatikisika kamwe, mtu mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

For he will not be disturbed in eternity.

7 Hataogopa habari mbaya, moyo wake ni thabiti, ukimtegemea Bwana.

The just one will be an everlasting memorial. He will not fear a report of disasters. His heart is prepared to hope in the Lord.

8 Moyo wake ni salama, hatakuwa na hofu, mwishoni ataona ushindi dhidi ya adui zake.

His heart has been confirmed. He will not be disturbed, until he looks down upon his enemies.

9 Ametawanya vipawa vyake kwa ukarimu akawapa maskini; haki yake hudumu milele; pembe yake itatukuzwa kwa heshima.

He has distributed, he has given to the poor. His justice shall remain from age to age. His horn shall be exalted in glory.

10 Mtu mwovu ataona na kuchukizwa, atasaga meno yake na kutoweka, kutamani kwa mtu mwovu kutaishia patupu.

The sinner will see and become angry. He will gnash his teeth and waste away. The desire of sinners will perish.
