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 kiongozi wa muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mungu akusaidie wakati wa shida; na jina la Mungu wa Yakobo likulinde

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

na kutuma msaada kutoka mahali patakatifu kwa ajili ya kukutegemeza wewe kutoka Sayuni.

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

Naye akumbuke sadaka yako yote na kuipokea sadaka ya kuteketezwa.

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

Naye akujalie haja za moyo wako na kutimiza 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!

Ndipo tutakapo shangilia katika ushindi wako, na, katika jina la Mungu wetu, tutapeperusha bendera. Yahwe naakupe maombi yako yote ya haki.

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 ninajua ya kuwa Yahwe atawaokoa wapakwa mafuta wake; yeye atamjibu yeye kutoka katika mbingu takatifu kwa uweza wa mkono wake wa kuume ambao waweza kumuokoa yeye.

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

Baadhi hamini katika magari na wengine katika farasi, lakini sisi tumuita Yahwe Mungu wetu.

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

Wao watashushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tutainuka na kusimama wima!

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

Yahwe, umuokoe mfalme; utusaidie sisi tukuitapo.
