Zaburi 21

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

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. The King shall reioyce in thy strength, O Lord: yea how greatly shall he reioyce in thy saluation!

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

Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire, and hast not denyed him 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 diddest preuent him with liberall blessings, and didest set a crowne of pure gold vpon his head.

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

He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life for euer and euer.

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

His glory is great in thy saluation: dignitie and honour hast thou laid vpon him.

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

For thou hast set him as blessings for euer: thou hast made him glad with the ioy of thy countenance.

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

Because the King trusteth in the Lord, and in the mercie of the most High, he shall not slide.

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

Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies, and thy right hand shall finde out them 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 like a fierie ouen in time of thine anger: the Lord shall destroy them in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them.

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

Their fruite shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seede from the children of men.

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

For they intended euill against thee, and imagined mischiefe, but they shall not preuaile.

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

Therefore shalt thou put them aparte, and the strings of thy bowe shalt thou make readie against their faces.

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

Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy strength: so will we sing and prayse thy power.
