Zaburi 112

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

PRAISE ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly 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 upright shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

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

A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 Kwa maana hataondoshwa kamwe; mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

Surely 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 evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

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

His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

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

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; 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 wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
