Psalms 20

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

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

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.

3 Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

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

4 Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

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

5 We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

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

6 Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

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

7 Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

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

8 They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

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

9 Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.

Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!
