Zaburi 112

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

Praise ye the LORD! Happy the man who feareth the LORD, Who taketh delight in his commandments!

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

His posterity shall be mighty on the earth; The race of the righteous shall be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches shall be in his house; His righteousness shall endure for ever.

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

To the righteous shall arise light out of darkness; He is gracious and full of compassion and righteousness.

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

Happy the man who hath pity and lendeth! He shall sustain his cause in judgment;

6 Kwa maana hataondoshwa kamwe; mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

Yea, he shall never be moved: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 Haogopi habari mbaya; ni jasiri, akimtumainia Yahwe.

He is not afraid of evil tidings; His heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

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

His heart is firm; he hath no fear, Till he see his desire upon his enemies.

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

He hath scattered blessings; he hath given to the poor; His righteousness shall endure for ever; His horn shall be exalted with honor.

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

The wicked shall see, and be grieved; He shall gnash his teeth, and melt away; The desire of the wicked shall perish.
