Zaburi 21

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] The king rejoices in your strength, Jehovah. How greatly he rejoices in your salvation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10 Utawaangamiza wazao wao kutoka duniani, uzao wao kutoka wanadamu.

You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the descendants of Adam.

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

Though they intend evil against you, devising a wicked scheme, they will not succeed.

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

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

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

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