Zaburi 112

1 Msifuni Yahwe. Amebarikiwa mtu yule anaye mtii Yahwe, apendezwaye sana na amri zake.

Alleluia. Blessed is the man that fears the Lord: he will delight greatly in his commandments.

2 Kizazi chake kitakuwa ni chenye nguvu duniani; kizazi cha mcha Mungu kitabarikiwa.

His seed shall be mighty in the earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Nyumbani mwake mna utajiri na mali; na haki yake itadumu milele.

Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

4 Nuru huangazia gizani kwa ajili ya mtu mcha Mungu; yeye ni wa fadhili, huruma, na haki.

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness: he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Heri atendaye fadhili na kukopesha, afanyaye mambo yake kwa uaminifu.

The good man is he that pities and lends: he will direct his affairs with judgement.

6 Kwa maana hataondoshwa kamwe; mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 Haogopi habari mbaya; ni jasiri, akimtumainia Yahwe.

He shall not be afraid of [any] evil report: his heart is ready to trust in the Lord.

8 Moyo wake ni mtulivu, hana woga, mpaka aonapo ushindi dhidi ya watesi wake.

His heart is established, he shall not fear, till he shall see [his desire] upon his enemies.

9 Huwapa masikini kwa ukarimu; haki yake yadumu milele; atainuliwa kwa heshima.

He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 Mtu mwovu ataona haya na kukasirika; atasaga meno yake na kuyeyuka; tamaa ya wasio haki itapotea.

The sinner shall see and be angry, he shall gnash his teeth, and consume away: the desire of the sinner shall perish.
