Zaburi 85
1 Yahwe, wewe umeonesha fadhilia kwenye nchi yako; umeurejesha ustawi wa Yakobo.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.
2 Umesamehe dhambi ya watu wako; umezisitiri dhambi zao zote. (Selah)
You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin.
3 Umeondoa ghadhabu yako yote; umeiacha hasira yako kali.
You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.
4 Uturejeshe sisi, Ee Mungu wa wokovu wetu, na uikomeshe chuki yako juu yetu.
Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.
5 Je! Utaendelea kuwa na hasira juu yetu milele? utadumisha hasira kizazi chote kijacho?
Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
6 Je, hautatuhuisha tena? Kisha watu wako watafurahia katika wewe.
Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
7 Utuoneshe sisi uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, utupe sisi wokovu wako.
Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
8 Nitasikiliza yale Yahwe Mungu asemayo, maana yeye atafanya amani pamoja na watu wake, wafuasi wake waminifu. Lakini lazima wasirudi tena katika njia za kipumbavu.
I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.
9 Hakika wokovu wake u karibu na wale wanao mwabudu yeye; kisha utukufu utabaki katika nchi yetu.
Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.
10 Uaminifu wa agano na uaminifu vimekutana pamoja; haki na amani vimebusiana.
Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Uaminifu unatoa chemchem kutoka ardhini, na haki hutazama chini kutoka mawinguni.
Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 Ndiyo, Yahwe atatoa baraka zake njema, na nchi itatoa mazao yake.
The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13 Haki itaenda mbele zake na kufanya njia kwa ajili ya nyayo zake.
Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
