Psalms 21

1 Yahweh, ([I], your king am glad/the king is glad) because you have caused me/him to be strong. (I rejoice/he rejoices) greatly because you have rescued me/him [from my/his enemies].

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

2 You have given me/him the things that I/he [SYN] desired and you have not refused to do what I requested you to do.

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

3 In answer to my/his prayer, you enabled me/him to succeed and prosper. You placed a gold crown on my/his head.

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

4 I/He asked you to enable me/him to live [for a long time], and that is what you gave me/him, a very long [HYP] life.

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

5 (I am/He is) greatly honored because you have helped me/him to defeat my/his enemies; you have made me/him famous.

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

6 You will bless me/him forever, and you have caused me/him to be joyful in your presence.

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

7 Yahweh, you are God Almighty, and (I trust/the king trusts) in you. Because you faithfully love me/him, disastrous things will never happen to me/him.

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

8 You will enable me/him to capture [MTY] all my/his enemies and all those who hate me/him.

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

9 When you appear, you will throw them into a fiery furnace. Because you are angry [with them], you will get rid of them; the fire will burn them up.

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

10 You will remove their children from this earth; their descendants will all disappear.

Utawaangamiza wazao wao kutoka duniani, uzao wao kutoka wanadamu.

11 They planned to harm you, but what they plan will never succeed.

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

12 You will cause them to run away [IDM] by shooting arrows at them.

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

13 Yahweh, show us that you are very strong! When you do that, while we sing we will praise you because you are very powerful.

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