Zaburi 112

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

Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth 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.

Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

6 Kwa maana hataondoshwa kamwe; mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

7 Haogopi habari mbaya; ni jasiri, akimtumainia Yahwe.

Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

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

Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

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

He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

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

The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.
