Zaburi 72
1 Mpe mfalme amri ya haki yako, Mungu, haki yako kwa wana wa mfalme.
[A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness to the king's son.
2 Naye awaamue watu wako kwa haki na maskini wako kwa haki sawa.
He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.
3 Milima iwazalie watu amani; vilima navyo vizae haki.
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.
4 Naye awahukumu watu maskini; awaokoe watoto wa wahitaji na kuwavunja vipande vipande wenye kuwatesa.
He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 Na wakuheshimu wewe wakati wa jua, na kwa kipindi cha kudumu kwa mwezi katika vizazi vyote.
They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 Naye apate kuja kama mvua juu ya nyasi zilizokatwa, kama manyuyu yanyunyizayo nchi.
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers [that] water the earth.
7 Mwenye haki na astawi kwa wakati wake, na amani iwepo kwa wingi mpaka mwezi utakapotoweka.
In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
8 Na awe na mamlaka toka bahari na bahari, na kutoka Mto hadi miisho ya dunia.
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
9 Na wote waishio jangwani wainame mbele zake; adui zake na walambe mavumbi.
They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 Wafalme wa Tashishi na visiwa walete kodi; wafalme wa Sheba na Seba watoe zawadi.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Hakika wafalme wote wamwinamie yeye; mataifa yote yamtumikie yeye.
Yes, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him.
12 Kwa kuwa yeye humsaidia mhitaji na maskini asiye na msaidizi.
For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and [him] that hath no helper.
13 Yeye huwahurumia maskini na wahitaji, na huokoa maisha ya wahitaji.
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 Huyaokoa maisha yao dhidi ya mateso na vurugu, na damu yao ni ya thamani machoni pake.
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall be their blood in his sight.
15 Naye apate kuishi! Na dhahabu za Sheba apewe yeye. Watu wamuombee yeye siku zote; Mungu ambariki daima.
And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall he be praised.
16 Kuwepo na nafaka nyingi katika ardhi; juu ya milima kuwe na mawimbi ya mimea. Matunda yake yawe kama Lebanoni; watu wasitawi katika miji kama nyansi za kondeni.
There shall be a handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon: and [they] of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
17 Jina lake lidumu milele; jina lake ilindelee kama vile jua ling'aavyo; watu wabarikiwe katika yeye; mataifa yote wamwite mbarikiwa.
His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Yahwe Mungu, Mungu wa Israel, atukuzwe, ambaye pekee hufanya mambo ya ajabu.
Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
19 Jina lake tukufu litukuzawe milele, nayo nchi yote ijazwe na utukufu wake. Amina, Amina.
And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and amen.
20 Maombi ya Daudi mwana wa Yese yamemalizika. Kutatu cha tatu
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
