Zaburi 85
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana, ulionyesha wema kwa nchi yako. Ulimrejeshea Yakobo baraka zake.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back 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 sin. (Selah)
3 Uliweka kando ghadhabu yako yote na umegeuka na kuiacha hasira yako kali.
Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.
4 Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, uturejeshe tena, nawe uiondoe chuki yako juu yetu.
Turn 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.
Shew 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 again 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 shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
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 [to walk in].
