Zaburi 112

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

Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.

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

His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.

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

Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

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

It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

6 Kwa maana hataondoshwa kamwe; mwenye haki atakumbukwa milele.

For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.

7 Haogopi habari mbaya; ni jasiri, akimtumainia Yahwe.

He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

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

His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

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

He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with honor.

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

The wicked person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
