Zaburi 85
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana, ulionyesha wema kwa nchi yako. Ulimrejeshea Yakobo baraka zake.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Jehovah, thou hast been favorable unto thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Ulisamehe uovu wa watu wako, na kufunika dhambi zao zote.
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; Thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Uliweka kando ghadhabu yako yote na umegeuka na kuiacha hasira yako kali.
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath; Thou hast turned [thyself] 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?
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?
6 Je, hutatuhuisha tena, ili watu wako wakufurahie?
Wilt thou not quicken us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Utuonyeshe upendo wako usiokoma, Ee Bwana, utupe wokovu wako.
Show us thy lovingkindness, 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 unto his people, and to his saints: 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 nigh them that 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 springeth out of the earth; And righteousness hath 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 way [to walk in].
