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.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana na akujibu unapokuwa katika dhiki, jina la Mungu wa Yakobo na liwe kinga yako.

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

Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.

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

Na azikumbuke dhabihu zako zote, na azikubali sadaka zako za kuteketezwa.

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

Na akujalie haja ya moyo wako, na aifanikishe mipango yako yote.

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

Tutashangilia kwa furaha utakaposhinda, tutainua bendera zetu kwa jina la Mungu wetu. Bwana na akupe haja zako zote.

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.

Sasa nafahamu kuwa Bwana humwokoa mpakwa mafuta wake, humjibu kutoka mbingu yake takatifu kwa nguvu za wokovu wa mkono wake wa kuume.

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

Wengine wanatumaini magari ya vita, na wengine farasi, bali sisi tutalitumainia jina la Bwana, Mungu wetu.

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

Wao wameshushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tunainuka na kusimama imara.

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

Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!
