< Psalms 21 >
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in the salvation you provide!
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, mfalme huzifurahia nguvu zako. Tazama jinsi ilivyo kuu furaha yake kwa ushindi unaompa!
2 You have given him his heart's desire and have not held back the request of his lips. (Selah)
Umempa haja ya moyo wake na hukumzuilia maombi ya midomo yake.
3 For you bring him rich blessings; you placed on his head a crown of purest gold.
Ulimkaribisha kwa baraka tele na kumvika taji ya dhahabu safi kichwani pake.
4 He asked you for life; you gave it to him; you gave him long days forever and ever.
Alikuomba maisha, nawe ukampa, wingi wa siku milele na milele.
5 His glory is great because of your victory; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
Kutokana na ushindi uliompa, utukufu wake ni mkubwa, umeweka juu yake fahari na utukufu.
6 For you grant him lasting blessings; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.
Hakika umempa baraka za milele, umemfanya awe na furaha kwa shangwe ya uwepo wako.
7 For the king trusts in Yahweh; through the covenant faithfulness of the Most High he will not be moved.
Kwa kuwa mfalme anamtumaini Bwana; kwa upendo usiokoma wa Aliye Juu Sana hatatikiswa.
8 Your hand will seize all your enemies; your right hand will seize those who hate you.
Mkono wako utawashika adui zako wote, mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata adui zako.
9 At the time of your anger, you will burn them up as in a fiery furnace. Yahweh will consume them in his wrath, and the fire will devour them.
Wakati utakapojitokeza utawafanya kama tanuru ya moto. Katika ghadhabu yake Bwana atawameza, moto wake utawateketeza.
10 You will destroy their offspring from the earth and their descendants from among the human race.
Utawaangamiza wazao wao kutoka duniani, uzao wao kutoka wanadamu.
11 For they intended evil against you; they conceived a plot with which they will not succeed!
Ingawa watapanga mabaya dhidi yako na kutunga hila, hawawezi kufanikiwa,
12 For you will turn them back; you will draw your bow before them.
kwa kuwa utawafanya wakimbie utakapowalenga usoni pao kwa mshale kutoka kwenye upinde wako.
13 Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength; we will sing and praise your power.
Ee Bwana, utukuzwe katika nguvu zako, tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.
