Zaburi 85
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana, ulionyesha wema kwa nchi yako. Ulimrejeshea Yakobo baraka zake.
Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm. Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away 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 sins.
3 Uliweka kando ghadhabu yako yote na umegeuka na kuiacha hasira yako kali.
Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
4 Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, uturejeshe tena, nawe uiondoe chuki yako juu yetu.
Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.
5 Je, utatukasirikia milele? Utaendeleza hasira yako kwa vizazi vyote?
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
6 Je, hutatuhuisha tena, ili watu wako wakufurahie?
Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
7 Utuonyeshe upendo wako usiokoma, Ee Bwana, utupe wokovu wako.
Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; 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 the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.
9 Hakika wokovu wake uko karibu na wale wamchao, ili utukufu wake udumu katika nchi yetu.
Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Upendo na uaminifu hukutana pamoja, haki na amani hubusiana.
Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
11 Uaminifu huchipua kutoka nchi, haki hutazama chini kutoka mbinguni.
Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
12 Naam, hakika Bwana atatoa kilicho chema, nayo nchi yetu itazaa mavuno yake.
For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.
13 Haki itatangulia mbele yake na kutengeneza njia kwa ajili ya hatua zake.
Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.
