Zaburi 112

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

Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

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

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

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

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

6 Hakika hatatikisika kamwe, mtu mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

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

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

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

He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

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

The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
