Zaburi 112

1 Msifuni Yahwe. Amebarikiwa mtu yule anaye mtii Yahwe, apendezwaye sana na amri zake.

Hallelujah. Happy are those who fear the Lord, and greatly delight in his commandments.

2 Kizazi chake kitakuwa ni chenye nguvu duniani; kizazi cha mcha Mungu kitabarikiwa.

Mighty on earth shall be their seed; a blessing shall rest on the race of the upright.

3 Nyumbani mwake mna utajiri na mali; na haki yake itadumu milele.

Wealth and riches are in their houses, their prosperity stands forever.

4 Nuru huangazia gizani kwa ajili ya mtu mcha Mungu; yeye ni wa fadhili, huruma, na haki.

To the upright arises light in the darkness; full of favor and pity and kindness are they.

5 Heri atendaye fadhili na kukopesha, afanyaye mambo yake kwa uaminifu.

It is well with those who show pity and lend, who support all their affairs upon justice.

6 Kwa maana hataondoshwa kamwe; mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

For they will never be shaken; the just will be forever remembered.

7 Haogopi habari mbaya; ni jasiri, akimtumainia Yahwe.

They will not be afraid of evil tidings, with steady heart they trust the Lord.

8 Moyo wake ni mtulivu, hana woga, mpaka aonapo ushindi dhidi ya watesi wake.

Their heart is firm and unafraid: they know they will feast their eyes on their enemies.

9 Huwapa masikini kwa ukarimu; haki yake yadumu milele; atainuliwa kwa heshima.

With lavish hands they give to the poor, and their prosperity stands forever. They are lifted to heights of triumph and honor.

10 Mtu mwovu ataona haya na kukasirika; atasaga meno yake na kuyeyuka; tamaa ya wasio haki itapotea.

The sight of them fills the wicked with anger: grinding their teeth with despair. The hopes of the wicked will come to nothing.
