< Zaburi 125 >
1 Wale wamwaminio Yahwe ni kama mlima Sayuni, hautikisiki, wadumu milele.
A song of ascents. Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever.
2 Kama milima inavyo izunguka Yerusalemu, hivyo ndivyo Yahwe anavyo wazunguka watu wake sasa na hata milele.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.
3 Fimbo ya uovu haitatawala katika nchi ya wenye haki. Vinginevyo wenye haki wanaweza kukosea.
For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.
4 Ee Yahwe, utende wema kwa wale walio wema na wale walio wanyoofu mioyoni mwao.
Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to the upright in heart.
5 Lakini kwa wale wanaogeukia njia zao za upotovu, Yahwe atawaondoa pamoja na watenda maovu. Amani iwe na Israeli.
But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers. Peace be upon Israel.
