Psalms 21

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in thy strength, Jehovah; and in thy 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 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

3 For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness; thou hast 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 thee; thou gavest [it] him, 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 through thy salvation; majesty and splendour hast thou laid upon him.

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

6 For thou hast made him to be blessings for ever; thou hast filled him with joy by thy countenance.

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

7 For the king confideth in Jehovah: and through the loving-kindness 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 Thy hand shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

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

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thy presence; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his anger, 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 shalt thou 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 thee; they imagined a mischievous device, which they could not execute.

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

12 For thou wilt make them turn their back; thou wilt make ready thy bowstring against their face.

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

13 Be thou exalted, Jehovah, in thine own strength: we will sing and celebrate thy power.

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