Zaburi 85
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana, ulionyesha wema kwa nchi yako. Ulimrejeshea Yakobo baraka zake.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Lord, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought againe the captiuitie of Iaakob.
2 Ulisamehe uovu wa watu wako, na kufunika dhambi zao zote.
Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, and couered all their sinnes. (Selah)
3 Uliweka kando ghadhabu yako yote na umegeuka na kuiacha hasira yako kali.
Thou hast withdrawen all thine anger, and hast turned backe from the fiercenes of thy wrath.
4 Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, uturejeshe tena, nawe uiondoe chuki yako juu yetu.
Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs.
5 Je, utatukasirikia milele? Utaendeleza hasira yako kwa vizazi vyote?
Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? and wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?
6 Je, hutatuhuisha tena, ili watu wako wakufurahie?
Wilt thou not turne againe and quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee?
7 Utuonyeshe upendo wako usiokoma, Ee Bwana, utupe wokovu wako.
Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord, and graunt vs thy saluation.
8 Nitasikiliza lile atakalosema Mungu aliye Bwana; anaahidi amani kwa watu wake, watakatifu wake: lakini nao wasirudie upumbavu.
I will hearken what the Lord God will say: for he will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saintes, that they turne not againe to follie.
9 Hakika wokovu wake uko karibu na wale wamchao, ili utukufu wake udumu katika nchi yetu.
Surely his saluation is neere to them that feare him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Upendo na uaminifu hukutana pamoja, haki na amani hubusiana.
Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteousnes and peace shall kisse one another.
11 Uaminifu huchipua kutoka nchi, haki hutazama chini kutoka mbinguni.
Trueth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousnes shall looke downe from heauen.
12 Naam, hakika Bwana atatoa kilicho chema, nayo nchi yetu itazaa mavuno yake.
Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our land shall giue her increase.
13 Haki itatangulia mbele yake na kutengeneza njia kwa ajili ya hatua zake.
Righteousnesse shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.
