Zaburi 85
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana, ulionyesha wema kwa nchi yako. Ulimrejeshea Yakobo baraka zake.
Jehovah, thou have been favorable to thy land. Thou have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Ulisamehe uovu wa watu wako, na kufunika dhambi zao zote.
Thou have forgiven the iniquity of thy people. Thou have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Uliweka kando ghadhabu yako yote na umegeuka na kuiacha hasira yako kali.
Thou have taken away all thy wrath. Thou have turned from the fierceness of thine anger.
4 Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, uturejeshe tena, nawe uiondoe chuki yako juu yetu.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.
5 Je, utatukasirikia milele? Utaendeleza hasira yako kwa vizazi vyote?
Will thou be angry with us forever? Will thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6 Je, hutatuhuisha tena, ili watu wako wakufurahie?
Will thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Utuonyeshe upendo wako usiokoma, Ee Bwana, utupe wokovu wako.
Show us thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy salvation.
8 Nitasikiliza lile atakalosema Mungu aliye Bwana; anaahidi amani kwa watu wake, watakatifu wake: lakini nao wasirudie upumbavu.
I will hear what God, Jehovah, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, and to his sanctified. But let them not turn again to folly.
9 Hakika wokovu wake uko karibu na wale wamchao, ili utukufu wake udumu katika nchi yetu.
Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Upendo na uaminifu hukutana pamoja, haki na amani hubusiana.
Mercy and truth are met together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Uaminifu huchipua kutoka nchi, haki hutazama chini kutoka mbinguni.
Truth springs out of the earth, and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
12 Naam, hakika Bwana atatoa kilicho chema, nayo nchi yetu itazaa mavuno yake.
Yea, Jehovah will give that which is good, and our land shall yield its increase.
13 Haki itatangulia mbele yake na kutengeneza njia kwa ajili ya hatua zake.
Righteousness shall go before him, and shall make his footsteps a path.
