Psalms 21

1 The king shall joy in your strength, O LORD; and in your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

Kwa kiongozi wa muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mfalme anashangilia katika uweza wako, Yahwe! Ni kwa namna kuu anashangilia katika wokovu uliouleta!

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

Wewe umempa yeye matamanio ya moyo wake na hauja mkatalia maombi midomo yake.

3 For you prevent him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.

Kwa kuwa wewe unamletea baraka nyingi; wewe uliweka katika kichwa chake taji ya dhahabu iliyo safi kabisa.

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

Yeye alikuomba wewe maisha; ukampatia maisha; wewe ulimpatia maisha malefu milele na milele.

5 His glory is great in your salvation: honour and majesty have you laid upon him.

Yeye utukufu wake ni mkuu kwa sababu ya ushindi wako; wewe umemuwekea mapambo na enzi.

6 For you have made him most blessed for ever: you have made him exceeding glad with your countenance.

Kwa kuwa unampatia yeye baraka za kudumu; unamfurahisha kwa furaha ya uwepo wako.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

Kwa kuwa Mfalme humwamini Yahwe; kwa kupitia uaminifu wa agano la aliye juu zaidi yeye hataondolewa.

8 your hand shall find out all of your enemies: your right hand shall find out those that hate you.

Mkono wako utawakamata adui zangu wote wote; mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata wale wote wanao kuchukia.

9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

Wakati wa hasira yako, wewe utawachoma kama katika tanuru la moto. Yahwe atawamaliza wao katika hasira yake, na moto utawateketeza upesi wao.

10 Their fruit shall you destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Wewe utawaangamiza watoto wao duniani na ukoo wao kutoka katika mrorongo wa wanadamu.

11 For they intended evil against you: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

Kwa kuwa walikusudia kukufanyia mambo maovu wewe; wao walitunga njama ambayo kwayo hawawezi kufanikiwa!

12 Therefore shall you make them turn their back, when you shall make ready your arrows upon your strings against the face of them.

Kwa kuwa wewe utawarudisha nyuma; wewe utafyatua upinde wako mbele yao.

13 Be you exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise your power.

Uninuliwe, Yahwe, katika uweza wako; tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.
