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.

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Tika ete Yawe ayanola yo na tango ya pasi; tika ete Nzambe ya Jakobi azala ndako batonga makasi mpo na kobatela yo.

2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

Tika ete asunga yo wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule mpe apesa yo makasi wuta na Siona.

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

Tika ete akanisa makabo na yo nyonso mpe andima mbeka na yo ya kotumba.

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

Tika ete akokisa posa ya motema na yo mpe mabongisi na yo nyonso.

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

Tokoganga na esengo mpo na lobiko na Yo mpe tokotombola bendele na Kombo ya Nzambe na biso. Tika ete Yawe akokisa bisengeli na Yo nyonso.

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.

Nayebi sik’oyo ete Yawe abikisaka mopakolami na Ye, ayanolaka ye wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule kati na Lola, na nzela ya nguya ya loboko na Ye ya mobali.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

Bamoko batiaka elikya na bango kati na bashar, bamosusu, kati na bampunda; kasi biso totiaka elikya na biso kati na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na biso.

8 They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

Bango, bafukamaka mpe bakweyaka; kasi biso, tozalaka kaka ya kotelema mpe totikalaka ngwi.

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

Yawe, bikisa mokonzi! Yanola biso tango tozali kobelela.
