Zaburi 125

1 Wale wamwaminio Yahwe ni kama mlima Sayuni, hautikisiki, wadumu milele.

A song of ascents. Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion, unshakable, forever enduring.

2 Kama milima inavyo izunguka Yerusalemu, hivyo ndivyo Yahwe anavyo wazunguka watu wake sasa na hata milele.

As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so Yahweh surrounds his people now and forever.

3 Fimbo ya uovu haitatawala katika nchi ya wenye haki. Vinginevyo wenye haki wanaweza kukosea.

The scepter of wickedness must not rule in the land of the righteous. Otherwise the righteous might do what is wrong.

4 Ee Yahwe, utende wema kwa wale walio wema na wale walio wanyoofu mioyoni mwao.

Do good, Yahweh, to those who are good and to those who are upright in their hearts.

5 Lakini kwa wale wanaogeukia njia zao za upotovu, Yahwe atawaondoa pamoja na watenda maovu. Amani iwe na Israeli.

But as for those who turn aside to their crooked ways, Yahweh will lead them away with the evildoers. May peace be on Israel.
