Psalms 21
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!
Kwa kiongozi wa muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mfalme anashangilia katika uweza wako, Yahwe! Ni kwa namna kuu anashangilia katika wokovu uliouleta!
2 You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.
Wewe umempa yeye matamanio ya moyo wake na hauja mkatalia maombi midomo yake.
3 You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed 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 you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.
Yeye alikuomba wewe maisha; ukampatia maisha; wewe ulimpatia maisha malefu milele na milele.
5 Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.
Yeye utukufu wake ni mkuu kwa sababu ya ushindi wako; wewe umemuwekea mapambo na enzi.
6 You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.
Kwa kuwa unampatia yeye baraka za kudumu; unamfurahisha kwa furaha ya uwepo wako.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.
Kwa kuwa Mfalme humwamini Yahwe; kwa kupitia uaminifu wa agano la aliye juu zaidi yeye hataondolewa.
8 You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.
Mkono wako utawakamata adui zangu wote wote; mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata wale wote wanao kuchukia.
9 When you appear on the scene you will burn them up like in a furnace; the Lord in his anger will destroy them, burning them up with fire.
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 wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.
Wewe utawaangamiza watoto wao duniani na ukoo wao kutoka katika mrorongo wa wanadamu.
11 Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.
Kwa kuwa walikusudia kukufanyia mambo maovu wewe; wao walitunga njama ambayo kwayo hawawezi kufanikiwa!
12 They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.
Kwa kuwa wewe utawarudisha nyuma; wewe utafyatua upinde wako mbele yao.
13 Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
Uninuliwe, Yahwe, katika uweza wako; tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.
