Zaburi 85
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana, ulionyesha wema kwa nchi yako. Ulimrejeshea Yakobo baraka zake.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. You have accepted, O YHWH, Your land, You have turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2 Ulisamehe uovu wa watu wako, na kufunika dhambi zao zote.
You have carried away the iniquity of Your people, You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Uliweka kando ghadhabu yako yote na umegeuka na kuiacha hasira yako kali.
You have gathered up all Your wrath, You have turned back from the fierceness of Your anger.
4 Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, uturejeshe tena, nawe uiondoe chuki yako juu yetu.
Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Your anger with us.
5 Je, utatukasirikia milele? Utaendeleza hasira yako kwa vizazi vyote?
Are You angry against us for all time? Do You draw out Your anger To generation and generation?
6 Je, hutatuhuisha tena, ili watu wako wakufurahie?
Do You not turn back? You revive us, And Your people rejoice in You.
7 Utuonyeshe upendo wako usiokoma, Ee Bwana, utupe wokovu wako.
Show us, O YHWH, your kindness, And You give to us Your salvation.
8 Nitasikiliza lile atakalosema Mungu aliye Bwana; anaahidi amani kwa watu wake, watakatifu wake: lakini nao wasirudie upumbavu.
I hear what God, YHWH, speaks, For He speaks peace to His people, And to His saints, and they do 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] near to those fearing Him, That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Upendo na uaminifu hukutana pamoja, haki na amani hubusiana.
Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11 Uaminifu huchipua kutoka nchi, haki hutazama chini kutoka mbinguni.
Truth springs up from the earth, And righteousness looks out from the heavens,
12 Naam, hakika Bwana atatoa kilicho chema, nayo nchi yetu itazaa mavuno yake.
YHWH also gives that which is good, And our land gives its increase.
13 Haki itatangulia mbele yake na kutengeneza njia kwa ajili ya hatua zake.
Righteousness goes before Him, And makes a way for His footsteps!
