Psalms 21
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he rejoiceth.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, mfalme huzifurahia nguvu zako. Tazama jinsi ilivyo kuu furaha yake kwa ushindi unaompa!
2 The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request of his lips Thou hast not withheld. (Selah)
Umempa haja ya moyo wake na hukumzuilia maombi ya midomo yake.
3 For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou settest on his head a crown of fine gold.
Ulimkaribisha kwa baraka tele na kumvika taji ya dhahabu safi kichwani pake.
4 Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him — length of days, Age-during — and for ever.
Alikuomba maisha, nawe ukampa, wingi wa siku milele na milele.
5 Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty Thou placest on him.
Kutokana na ushindi uliompa, utukufu wake ni mkubwa, umeweka juu yake fahari na utukufu.
6 For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice 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 Jehovah, And in the kindness of the Most High He is not moved.
Kwa kuwa mfalme anamtumaini Bwana; kwa upendo usiokoma wa Aliye Juu Sana hatatikiswa.
8 Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth find Thy haters.
Mkono wako utawashika adui zako wote, mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata adui zako.
9 Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth devour them.
Wakati utakapojitokeza utawafanya kama tanuru ya moto. Katika ghadhabu yake Bwana atawameza, moto wake utawateketeza.
10 Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed from the sons of men.
Utawaangamiza wazao wao kutoka duniani, uzao wao kutoka wanadamu.
11 For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,
Ingawa watapanga mabaya dhidi yako na kutunga hila, hawawezi kufanikiwa,
12 For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.
kwa kuwa utawafanya wakimbie utakapowalenga usoni pao kwa mshale kutoka kwenye upinde wako.
13 Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and we praise Thy might!
Ee Bwana, utukuzwe katika nguvu zako, tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.
