Psalms 21
1 For the leader. A psalm of David. The king rejoices, Lord, in your might, how he exults because of your help!
Kwa kiongozi wa muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mfalme anashangilia katika uweza wako, Yahwe! Ni kwa namna kuu anashangilia katika wokovu uliouleta!
2 You have granted to him his heart’s desire, you have not withheld his lips’ request. (Selah)
Wewe umempa yeye matamanio ya moyo wake na hauja mkatalia maombi midomo yake.
3 You came to meet him with rich blessings, you set on his head a golden crown.
Kwa kuwa wewe unamletea baraka nyingi; wewe uliweka katika kichwa chake taji ya dhahabu iliyo safi kabisa.
4 He asked you for life, you gave it – many long days, forever and ever.
Yeye alikuomba wewe maisha; ukampatia maisha; wewe ulimpatia maisha malefu milele na milele.
5 Great is his glory because of your help, honour and majesty you lay upon him.
Yeye utukufu wake ni mkuu kwa sababu ya ushindi wako; wewe umemuwekea mapambo na enzi.
6 For you make him most blessed forever, you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
Kwa kuwa unampatia yeye baraka za kudumu; unamfurahisha kwa furaha ya uwepo wako.
7 For the king puts always his trust in the Lord; the Most High, in his love, will preserve him unshaken.
Kwa kuwa Mfalme humwamini Yahwe; kwa kupitia uaminifu wa agano la aliye juu zaidi yeye hataondolewa.
8 Your hand will reach all your foes, your right hand, all who hate you.
Mkono wako utawakamata adui zangu wote wote; mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata wale wote wanao kuchukia.
9 You will make them like a furnace of fire, when you appear, Lord. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire will 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 You will sweep their offspring from the earth, their children from humanity.
Wewe utawaangamiza watoto wao duniani na ukoo wao kutoka katika mrorongo wa wanadamu.
11 When they scheme against you and hatch evil plots – they will fail.
Kwa kuwa walikusudia kukufanyia mambo maovu wewe; wao walitunga njama ambayo kwayo hawawezi kufanikiwa!
12 For you aim your bow at their faces, make them turn in flight.
Kwa kuwa wewe utawarudisha nyuma; wewe utafyatua upinde wako mbele yao.
13 Be exalted, Lord, in your strength, to your might we shall sing and make music.
Uninuliwe, Yahwe, katika uweza wako; tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.
