Psalms 21

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, mfalme huzifurahia nguvu zako. Tazama jinsi ilivyo kuu furaha yake kwa ushindi unaompa!

2 You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

Umempa haja ya moyo wake na hukumzuilia maombi ya midomo yake.

3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

Ulimkaribisha kwa baraka tele na kumvika taji ya dhahabu safi kichwani pake.

4 He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

Alikuomba maisha, nawe ukampa, wingi wa siku milele na milele.

5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

Kutokana na ushindi uliompa, utukufu wake ni mkubwa, umeweka juu yake fahari na utukufu.

6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

Hakika umempa baraka za milele, umemfanya awe na furaha kwa shangwe ya uwepo wako.

7 For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

Kwa kuwa mfalme anamtumaini Bwana; kwa upendo usiokoma wa Aliye Juu Sana hatatikiswa.

8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

Mkono wako utawashika adui zako wote, mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata adui zako.

9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

Wakati utakapojitokeza utawafanya kama tanuru ya moto. Katika ghadhabu yake Bwana atawameza, moto wake utawateketeza.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.

Utawaangamiza wazao wao kutoka duniani, uzao wao kutoka wanadamu.

11 For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

Ingawa watapanga mabaya dhidi yako na kutunga hila, hawawezi kufanikiwa,

12 For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

kwa kuwa utawafanya wakimbie utakapowalenga usoni pao kwa mshale kutoka kwenye upinde wako.

13 Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.

Ee Bwana, utukuzwe katika nguvu zako, tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.
