Zaburi 112

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

Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the LORD, [that] delighteth greatly 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 upright shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 Hakika hatatikisika kamwe, mtu mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his enemies.

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

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
