Psalms 20

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

Thaburi ya Daudi Jehova arogwĩtĩka rĩrĩa ũrĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ; rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai wa Jakubu rĩrokũgitĩra.

2 May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

Arokũrehere ũteithio kuuma handũ harĩa hake haamũre, na agũtiirĩrĩre arĩ kũu Zayuni.

3 May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

Aroririkana magongona maku mothe, na etĩkĩre maruta maku ma njino.

4 May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

Arokũhe maũndũ marĩa ngoro yaku ĩĩrirĩirie, na atũme mĩbango yaku yothe ĩgaacĩre.

5 May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

Rĩrĩa ũkaahootana nĩtũkoigĩrĩria na gĩkeno, na tuoye bendera ciitũ na igũrũ nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai witũ. Jehova arokũhingĩria maũndũ marĩa mothe ũmũhooete.

6 Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

Rĩu nĩmenyete atĩ Jehova nĩahonokagia ũrĩa wake mũitĩrĩrie maguta; nĩamwĩtĩkaga arĩ kũu igũrũ rĩake rĩamũre, arĩ na ũhoti wa kũhonokania ũrĩa ũrĩ guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo.

7 Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

Andũ amwe mehokaga ngaari cia ita, na angĩ makehoka mbarathi, no ithuĩ twĩhokaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai witũ.

8 They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

Makurumaga makagũa thĩ, no ithuĩ tũrũgamaga tũkehaanda.

9 O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.

Wee Jehova, honokia mũthamaki! Twĩtĩkage rĩrĩa twagũkaĩra!
