Zaburi 85

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

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. LORD, you have been favourable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.

2 Umesamehe dhambi ya watu wako; umezisitiri dhambi zao zote. (Selah)

You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. (Selah)

3 Umeondoa ghadhabu yako yote; umeiacha hasira yako kali.

You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.

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

Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation towards us to cease.

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.

Won’t you 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 kindness, LORD. 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 God, the LORD, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, 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 those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

10 Uaminifu wa agano na uaminifu vimekutana pamoja; haki na amani vimebusiana.

Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 Uaminifu unatoa chemchem kutoka ardhini, na haki hutazama chini kutoka mawinguni.

Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.

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

Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.

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

Righteousness goes before him, and prepares the way for his steps.
