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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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