Psalms 20

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. 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 watch over you from Zion.

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

3 May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

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

4 May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

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

5 We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

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 May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

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 some in horses, but we will call upon 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 have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

Makurumaga makagũa thĩ, no ithuĩ tũrũgamaga tũkehaanda.

9 O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.

Wee Jehova, honokia mũthamaki! Twĩtĩkage rĩrĩa twagũkaĩra!
