Zaburi 21

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

For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.

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

Thou hast granted him the desire of his soul, and hast not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

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

For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

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

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever and ever.

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

His glory is great in thy salvation: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.

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

For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.

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

For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

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

Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that hate thee.

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

Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

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

Thou shalt 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 evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

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

For thou shalt make them [turn their] back in thy latter end, thou wilt prepare their face.

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

Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: we will sing and praise thy mighty acts.
