Zaburi 21

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

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, the king is joyful in Your strength, How greatly he rejoices in Your salvation.

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

You gave the desire of his heart to him, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

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

For You put blessings of goodness before him, You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

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

He has asked for life from You, You have given length of days to him, For all time and forever.

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

Great [is] his glory in Your salvation, You place splendor and majesty on him.

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

For You make him blessings forever, You cause him to rejoice with joy, By Your countenance.

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

For the king is trusting in YHWH, And in the kindness of the Most High he is not moved.

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

Your hand comes to all Your enemies, Your right hand finds Your haters.

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

You make them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Your presence. YHWH swallows them in His anger, And fire devours them.

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

You destroy their fruit from earth, And their seed from the sons of men.

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

For they stretched out evil against You, They devised a wicked scheme, they do not prevail,

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

For You make them turn their back, When You prepare Your strings against their faces.

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

Be exalted, O YHWH, in Your strength, We sing and we praise Your might!
