Zaburi 112

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

Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

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

His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

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

Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

6 Hakika hatatikisika kamwe, mtu mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

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

He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till 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 scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; 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 wicked shall see, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
