Zaburi 112

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

Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.

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

Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].

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

Their families [MTY] will be very wealthy [DOU], and [the results of] their righteous deeds will endure forever.

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

Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.

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

Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.

6 Kwa maana hataondoshwa kamwe; mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].

7 Haogopi habari mbaya; ni jasiri, akimtumainia Yahwe.

They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.

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

They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.

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

They give things generously to poor/needy [people]; [the results of] their kind deeds will endure forever, and they [will] be exalted and honored.

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

Wicked people see those things and are angry; they gnash their teeth [angrily], but they [will] disappear [and die]. The [wicked] things that they want to do [will] never happen.
