Zaburi 85

1 Yahwe, wewe umeonesha fadhilia kwenye nchi yako; umeurejesha ustawi wa Yakobo.

For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, Thou hast been favourable 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 pardoned 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Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.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.

Restore us, 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 to all generations?

6 Je, hautatuhuisha tena? Kisha watu wako watafurahia katika wewe.

Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?

7 Utuoneshe sisi uaminifu wa agano lako, Yahwe, utupe sisi wokovu wako.

Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, 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 the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back 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.

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 springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

12 Ndiyo, Yahwe atatoa baraka zake njema, na nchi itatoa mazao yake.

Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.

13 Haki itaenda mbele zake na kufanya njia kwa ajili ya nyayo zake.

Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.
