Zaburi 21

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

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. In your virtue, Lord, the king will rejoice, and over your salvation, he will exult exceedingly.

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

You have granted him the desire of his heart, and you have not cheated him of the wish of his lips.

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

For you have gone ahead of him with blessings of sweetness. You have placed a crown of precious stones on his head.

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

He petitioned you for life, and you have granted him length of days, in the present time, and forever and ever.

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

Great is his glory in your salvation. Glory and great adornment, you will lay upon him.

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

For you will give him as a blessing forever and ever. You will make him rejoice with gladness in your presence.

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

Because the king hopes in the Lord, and in the mercy of the Most High, he will not be disturbed.

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

May your hand be found by all your enemies. May your right hand discover all those who hate you.

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

You will make them like an oven of fire, in the time of your presence. The Lord will stir them up with his wrath, and fire will devour them.

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

You will destroy their fruit from the earth and their offspring from the sons of men.

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

For they have turned evils upon you; they have devised plans, which they have not been able to accomplish.

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

For you will make them turn their back; with your remnants, you will prepare their countenance.

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

Be exalted, Lord, by your own power. We will play music and sing psalms to your virtues.
