Zaburi 21

1 Kwa kiongozi wa muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mfalme anashangilia katika uweza wako, Yahwe! Ni kwa namna kuu anashangilia katika wokovu uliouleta!

The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah. And in thy salvation how greatly he shall rejoice!

2 Wewe umempa yeye matamanio ya moyo wake na hauja mkatalia maombi midomo yake.

Thou have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 Kwa kuwa wewe unamletea baraka nyingi; wewe uliweka katika kichwa chake taji ya dhahabu iliyo safi kabisa.

For thou meet him with the blessings of goodness. Thou set a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 Yeye alikuomba wewe maisha; ukampatia maisha; wewe ulimpatia maisha malefu milele na milele.

He asked life from thee. Thou gave it him, even length of days forever and ever.

5 Yeye utukufu wake ni mkuu kwa sababu ya ushindi wako; wewe umemuwekea mapambo na enzi.

His glory is great in thy salvation. Honor and majesty thou do lay upon him.

6 Kwa kuwa unampatia yeye baraka za kudumu; unamfurahisha kwa furaha ya uwepo wako.

For thou make him most blessed forever. Thou make him glad with joy in thy presence.

7 Kwa kuwa Mfalme humwamini Yahwe; kwa kupitia uaminifu wa agano la aliye juu zaidi yeye hataondolewa.

For the king trusts in Jehovah. And through the loving kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8 Mkono wako utawakamata adui zangu wote wote; mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata wale wote wanao kuchukia.

Thy hand will find out all thine enemies. Thy right hand will find out those who hate thee.

9 Wakati wa hasira yako, wewe utawachoma kama katika tanuru la moto. Yahwe atawamaliza wao katika hasira yake, na moto utawateketeza upesi wao.

Thou will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger. Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

10 Wewe utawaangamiza watoto wao duniani na ukoo wao kutoka katika mrorongo wa wanadamu.

Thou will destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.

11 Kwa kuwa walikusudia kukufanyia mambo maovu wewe; wao walitunga njama ambayo kwayo hawawezi kufanikiwa!

For they intended evil against thee. They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.

12 Kwa kuwa wewe utawarudisha nyuma; wewe utafyatua upinde wako mbele yao.

For thou will make them turn their back. Thou will make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.

13 Uninuliwe, Yahwe, katika uweza wako; tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.

Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength. We will sing and praise thy power.
