Zaburi 85
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana, ulionyesha wema kwa nchi yako. Ulimrejeshea Yakobo baraka zake.
To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. Thou hast accepted, O Yahweh, thy land, Thou hast brought back the captives of Jacob;
2 Ulisamehe uovu wa watu wako, na kufunika dhambi zao zote.
Thou hast taken away, 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Thou hast withdrawn all thine indignation, Thou hast ceased from the glow of thine anger.
4 Ee Mungu Mwokozi wetu, uturejeshe tena, nawe uiondoe chuki yako juu yetu.
Restore us, O God of our salvation, And take away thy vexation towards us.
5 Je, utatukasirikia milele? Utaendeleza hasira yako kwa vizazi vyote?
To times age-abiding, wilt thou be angry with us? Wilt thou prolong thine anger, from generation to generation?
6 Je, hutatuhuisha tena, ili watu wako wakufurahie?
Wilt not, thou thyself, again give us life, That, thy people, may rejoice in thee.
7 Utuonyeshe upendo wako usiokoma, Ee Bwana, utupe wokovu wako.
Show us, O Yahweh, thy lovingkindness, And, thy salvation, wilt thou grant us.
8 Nitasikiliza lile atakalosema Mungu aliye Bwana; anaahidi amani kwa watu wake, watakatifu wake: lakini nao wasirudie upumbavu.
I will hear, what GOD—Yahweh—will speak, —For he will bespeak prosperity to his people, And to his men of lovingkindness, And to them who return with their heart unto him.
9 Hakika wokovu wake uko karibu na wale wamchao, ili utukufu wake udumu katika nchi yetu.
Surely, near unto them who revere him, is his salvation, That the Glory, may settle down, in our land.
10 Upendo na uaminifu hukutana pamoja, haki na amani hubusiana.
Lovingkindness and faithfulness, have met together, Righteousness and prosperity, have kissed each other;
11 Uaminifu huchipua kutoka nchi, haki hutazama chini kutoka mbinguni.
Faithfulness, out of the earth, doth spring forth, And, righteousness, out of the heavens, hath looked down.
12 Naam, hakika Bwana atatoa kilicho chema, nayo nchi yetu itazaa mavuno yake.
Yahweh himself too, will give us the blessing, And, our land, shall yield her increase.
13 Haki itatangulia mbele yake na kutengeneza njia kwa ajili ya hatua zake.
Righteousness, before him, shall march long, —That he may make, into a way, the steps of its feet.
