Zaburi 21

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

For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in thy strength; and in thy salvation he shall greatly exult.

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

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

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

For thou hast prevented him with blessings of goodness: thou has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

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

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest him length of days for ever 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: thou wilt crown him with glory and majesty.

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

For thou wilt give him a blessing for ever and ever: thou wilt gladden him with joy with thy countenance.

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

For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall not be moved.

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

Let thy hand be found by all thine enemies: let thy right hand find all that 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 shalt make them as a fiery oven at the time of thy presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

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

Thou shalt 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 evils against thee; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

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

For thou shalt make them [turn their] back in thy latter end, thou wilt prepare their face.

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

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