Zaburi 85
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Ee Bwana, ulionyesha wema kwa nchi yako. Ulimrejeshea Yakobo baraka zake.
To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2 Ulisamehe uovu wa watu wako, na kufunika dhambi zao zote.
Thou hast borne 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 gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine 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 Thine anger with us.
5 Je, utatukasirikia milele? Utaendeleza hasira yako kwa vizazi vyote?
To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
6 Je, hutatuhuisha tena, ili watu wako wakufurahie?
Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
7 Utuonyeshe upendo wako usiokoma, Ee Bwana, utupe wokovu wako.
Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
8 Nitasikiliza lile atakalosema Mungu aliye Bwana; anaahidi amani kwa watu wake, watakatifu wake: lakini nao wasirudie upumbavu.
I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.
9 Hakika wokovu wake uko karibu na wale wamchao, ili utukufu wake udumu katika nchi yetu.
Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour 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 from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
12 Naam, hakika Bwana atatoa kilicho chema, nayo nchi yetu itazaa mavuno yake.
Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
13 Haki itatangulia mbele yake na kutengeneza njia kwa ajili ya hatua zake.
Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
