Zaburi 112

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

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

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

To the righteous a light is risen up in 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.

Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

6 Hakika hatatikisika kamwe, mtu mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

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

The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

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

His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

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

He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: 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 wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
