Zaburi 112

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

Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

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

Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

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

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

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

The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgment.

6 Hakika hatatikisika kamwe, mtu mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

For 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 [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust 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 fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

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

He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honor.

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

The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
