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 chief musician. A psalm of David. The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in the salvation you provide!
2 Wewe umempa yeye matamanio ya moyo wake na hauja mkatalia maombi midomo yake.
You have given him his heart's desire and have not held back 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 you bring him rich blessings; you placed on his head a crown of purest gold.
4 Yeye alikuomba wewe maisha; ukampatia maisha; wewe ulimpatia maisha malefu milele na milele.
He asked you for life; you gave it to him; you gave him long days forever and ever.
5 Yeye utukufu wake ni mkuu kwa sababu ya ushindi wako; wewe umemuwekea mapambo na enzi.
His glory is great because of your victory; you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
6 Kwa kuwa unampatia yeye baraka za kudumu; unamfurahisha kwa furaha ya uwepo wako.
For you grant him lasting blessings; 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 trusts in Yahweh; through the covenant faithfulness of the Most High he will not be moved.
8 Mkono wako utawakamata adui zangu wote wote; mkono wako wa kuume utawakamata wale wote wanao kuchukia.
Your hand will seize all your enemies; your right hand will seize those 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.
At the time of your anger, you will burn them up as in a fiery furnace. Yahweh will consume them in his wrath, and the fire will devour them.
10 Wewe utawaangamiza watoto wao duniani na ukoo wao kutoka katika mrorongo wa wanadamu.
You will destroy their offspring from the earth and their descendants from among the human race.
11 Kwa kuwa walikusudia kukufanyia mambo maovu wewe; wao walitunga njama ambayo kwayo hawawezi kufanikiwa!
For they intended evil against you; they conceived a plot with which they will not succeed!
12 Kwa kuwa wewe utawarudisha nyuma; wewe utafyatua upinde wako mbele yao.
For you will turn them back; you will draw your bow before them.
13 Uninuliwe, Yahwe, katika uweza wako; tutaimba na kusifu nguvu zako.
Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength; we will sing and praise your power.
