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 leader. A psalm of David. The king rejoices, Lord, in your might, how he exults because of your help!

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

You have granted to him his heart’s desire, you have not withheld his lips’ request. (Selah)

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

You came to meet him with rich blessings, you set on his head a golden crown.

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

He asked you for life, you gave it – many long days, forever and ever.

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

Great is his glory because of your help, honor and majesty you lay upon him.

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

For you make him most blessed forever, you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

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

For the king puts always his trust in the Lord; the Most High, in his love, will preserve him unshaken.

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

Your hand will reach all your foes, your right hand, all who hate you.

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

You will make them like a furnace of fire, when you appear, Lord. The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire will devour them.

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

You will sweep their offspring from the earth, their children from humanity.

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

When they scheme against you and hatch evil plots – they will fail.

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

For you aim your bow at their faces, make them turn in flight.

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

Be exalted, Lord, in your strength, to your might we shall sing and make music.
