Zaburi 112

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

Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

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

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

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

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

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

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

6 Kwa maana hataondoshwa kamwe; mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

7 Haogopi habari mbaya; ni jasiri, akimtumainia Yahwe.

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

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

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

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

He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

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

The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
