Zaburi 85
1 Yahwe, wewe umeonesha fadhilia kwenye nchi yako; umeurejesha ustawi wa Yakobo.
For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. O Lord, you has taken pleasure in your land: you have turned back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Umesamehe dhambi ya watu wako; umezisitiri dhambi zao zote. (Selah)
You have forgiven your people their transgressions; you has covered all their sins. (Pause)
3 Umeondoa ghadhabu yako yote; umeiacha hasira yako kali.
You has caused all your wrath to cease: you have turned from your fierce anger.
4 Uturejeshe sisi, Ee Mungu wa wokovu wetu, na uikomeshe chuki yako juu yetu.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn your anger away from us.
5 Je! Utaendelea kuwa na hasira juu yetu milele? utadumisha hasira kizazi chote kijacho?
Wouldest you be angry with us for ever? or will you continue your wrath from generation to generation?
6 Je, hautatuhuisha tena? Kisha watu wako watafurahia katika wewe.
O God, you will turn and quicken us; and your people shall rejoice in you.
7 Utuoneshe sisi uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, utupe sisi wokovu wako.
Show us your mercy, 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 hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those that turn their heart towards him.
9 Hakika wokovu wake u karibu na wale wanao mwabudu yeye; kisha utukufu utabaki katika nchi yetu.
Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Uaminifu wa agano na uaminifu vimekutana pamoja; haki na amani vimebusiana.
Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].
11 Uaminifu unatoa chemchem kutoka ardhini, na haki hutazama chini kutoka mawinguni.
Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
12 Ndiyo, Yahwe atatoa baraka zake njema, na nchi itatoa mazao yake.
For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit.
13 Haki itaenda mbele zake na kufanya njia kwa ajili ya nyayo zake.
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set his steps in the way.
