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.

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Bika Yave kavana mvutu bu widi mu ziphasi, bika dizina di Nzambi yi Yakobi dikeba.

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

Bika kafidisa lusadusu bu kadi ku buangu kinlongo Bika kakindisa bu kadi ku Sioni.

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

Bika katebukila makaba maku moso moyo. Ayi kakikinina makaba maku maviku.

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

Bika kavana bitidi ntimꞌaku. Ayi bika kanungisa zikhubukulu ziaku zioso.

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.

Tuela yamikina mu khini bu wela tambula ndungunu. Tuela vumbula bidalapo bieto ku Yilu mu dizina di Nzambi eto. Bika Yave kadukisa zindombolo ziaku zioso.

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.

Buabu nzebi ti Yave wumvukisanga mutu andi wuka vinda mafuta, weti kumvana mvutu bu kadi ku Diyilu, diandi dinlongo mu lusadusu luandi lungolo, lu koko kuandi ku lubakala.

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

Bankaka bantulanga diana mu matoma ma mvita, bankaka mu ziphunda. Vayi beto tuntulanga diana mu dizina di Yave, Nzambi eto.

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

Bawu beti fukama mu makuma mawu ayi beti bua; Vayi beto tueti telama ayi tuidi kaka bakinda.

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

Yave vukisa ntinu Bika wutuvana mvutu mu thangu tueti tela.
