Zaburi 85
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana, ulionyesha wema kwa nchi yako. Ulimrejeshea Yakobo baraka zake.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.
2 Ulisamehe uovu wa watu wako, na kufunika dhambi zao zote.
You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin.
3 Uliweka kando ghadhabu yako yote na umegeuka na kuiacha hasira yako kali.
You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.
4 Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, uturejeshe tena, nawe uiondoe chuki yako juu yetu.
Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.
5 Je, utatukasirikia milele? Utaendeleza hasira yako kwa vizazi vyote?
Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
6 Je, hutatuhuisha tena, ili watu wako wakufurahie?
Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
7 Utuonyeshe upendo wako usiokoma, Ee Bwana, utupe wokovu wako.
Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
8 Nitasikiliza lile atakalosema Mungu aliye Bwana; anaahidi amani kwa watu wake, watakatifu wake: lakini nao wasirudie upumbavu.
I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.
9 Hakika wokovu wake uko karibu na wale wamchao, ili utukufu wake udumu katika nchi yetu.
Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.
10 Upendo na uaminifu hukutana pamoja, haki na amani hubusiana.
Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Uaminifu huchipua kutoka nchi, haki hutazama chini kutoka mbinguni.
Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 Naam, hakika Bwana atatoa kilicho chema, nayo nchi yetu itazaa mavuno yake.
The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13 Haki itatangulia mbele yake na kutengeneza njia kwa ajili ya hatua zake.
Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
