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 your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

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

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

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

For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you 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 you, and you gave 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 your salvation: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

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

For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your 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 your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate you.

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

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

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

You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [amongst] the sons of men.

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

For they intended evils against you; 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 you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

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

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