Psalms 21

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. O Yahweh, in thy strength, will the king rejoice, and, in thy salvation, how greatly will he exult!

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

2 The longing of his heart, hast thou given him, and, the request of his lips, hast thou not withheld. (Selah)

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

3 For thou wilt come to meet him, with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head, a crown of pure gold.

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

4 Life, he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, length of days, to times age-abiding and beyond.

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

5 Great is his glory, in thy salvation, Honour and majesty, wilt thou lay upon him;

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

6 For thou wilt appoint him blessings evermore, wilt cheer him with joy by thy countenance;

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

7 For, the king, is trusting in Yahweh, and, in the lovingkindness of the Highest, shall he not be shaken.

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

8 Thy hand, will find out, all thy foes, Thine own right hand, will find out them who hate thee.

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

9 Thou wilt make them like a furnace of fire, at the time of thy presence, —Yahweh, in his anger, will swallow them up, and there shall consume them a fire:

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

10 Their fruit—out of the earth, wilt thou destroy, and their seed, from among the sons of men;

Utawaangamiza wazao wao kutoka duniani, uzao wao kutoka wanadamu.

11 For they have held out, against thee, a wicked thing, They have devised a scheme they cannot accomplish.

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

12 For thou wilt cause them to turn their back, Upon thy bow-strings, wilt thou make ready against their face.

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

13 Be exalted, O Yahweh, in thy strength! With song and with string will we sound forth thy power.

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