Zaburi 21

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

The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah. And in thy salvation how greatly he shall rejoice!

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

Thou have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

For thou meet him with the blessings of goodness. Thou set a crown of fine gold on his head.

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

He asked life from thee. Thou gave it him, even length of days forever and ever.

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

His glory is great in thy salvation. Honor and majesty thou do lay upon him.

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

For thou make him most blessed forever. Thou make him glad with joy in thy presence.

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

For the king trusts in Jehovah. And through the loving kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

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

Thy hand will find out all thine enemies. Thy right hand will find out those who hate thee.

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

Thou will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger. Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

10 Utawaangamiza wazao wao kutoka duniani, uzao wao kutoka wanadamu.

Thou will destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.

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

For they intended evil against thee. They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

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

For thou will make them turn their back. Thou will make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

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

Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength. We will sing and praise thy power.
