Zaburi 112

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

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

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

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

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

To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

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

Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

6 Kwa maana hataondoshwa kamwe; mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

7 Haogopi habari mbaya; ni jasiri, akimtumainia Yahwe.

The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

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

His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

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

He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

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

The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
