Zaburi 85

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

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD, thou hast been favourable to thy land: thou hast brought back 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 taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thy anger.

4 Uturejeshe sisi, Ee Mungu wa wokovu wetu, na uikomeshe chuki yako juu yetu.

Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause thy anger 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 thy anger to all generations?

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.

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 to his people, and to his saints: 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 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 shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

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

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

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

Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
