Zaburi 85

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana, ulionyesha wema kwa nchi yako. Ulimrejeshea Yakobo baraka zake.

For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned 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 pardoned all their sin. (Selah)

3 Uliweka kando ghadhabu yako yote na umegeuka na kuiacha hasira yako kali.

Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.

4 Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, uturejeshe tena, nawe uiondoe chuki yako juu yetu.

Restore 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 mercy, O LORD, 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 the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back 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, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.

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.
