Zaburi 85
1 Yahwe, wewe umeonesha fadhilia kwenye nchi yako; umeurejesha ustawi wa Yakobo.
To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast been favourable, Jehovah, unto thy land; thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob:
2 Umesamehe dhambi ya watu wako; umezisitiri dhambi zao zote. (Selah)
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Umeondoa ghadhabu yako yote; umeiacha hasira yako kali.
Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.
4 Uturejeshe sisi, Ee Mungu wa wokovu wetu, na uikomeshe chuki yako juu yetu.
Bring us back, O God of our salvation, and cause thine indignation toward us to cease.
5 Je! Utaendelea kuwa na hasira juu yetu milele? utadumisha hasira kizazi chote kijacho?
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger from generation to generation?
6 Je, hautatuhuisha tena? Kisha watu wako watafurahia katika wewe.
Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Utuoneshe sisi uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, utupe sisi wokovu wako.
Shew us thy loving-kindness, O Jehovah, and grant us thy 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 God, Jehovah, will speak; for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his godly ones: but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Hakika wokovu wake u karibu na wale wanao mwabudu yeye; kisha utukufu utabaki katika nchi yetu.
Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Uaminifu wa agano na uaminifu vimekutana pamoja; haki na amani vimebusiana.
Loving-kindness 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 shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from the heavens.
12 Ndiyo, Yahwe atatoa baraka zake njema, na nchi itatoa mazao yake.
Jehovah also will give what is good, and our land shall yield its increase.
13 Haki itaenda mbele zake na kufanya njia kwa ajili ya nyayo zake.
Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set his footsteps on the way.
