Psalms 20

1 Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Bika Yave kavana mvutu bu widi mu ziphasi, bika dizina di Nzambi yi Yakobi dikeba.

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

Bika kafidisa lusadusu bu kadi ku buangu kinlongo Bika kakindisa bu kadi ku Sioni.

3 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

Bika katebukila makaba maku moso moyo. Ayi kakikinina makaba maku maviku.

4 May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

Bika kavana bitidi ntimꞌaku. Ayi bika kanungisa zikhubukulu ziaku zioso.

5 We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

Tuela yamikina mu khini bu wela tambula ndungunu. Tuela vumbula bidalapo bieto ku Yilu mu dizina di Nzambi eto. Bika Yave kadukisa zindombolo ziaku zioso.

6 The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

Buabu nzebi ti Yave wumvukisanga mutu andi wuka vinda mafuta, weti kumvana mvutu bu kadi ku Diyilu, diandi dinlongo mu lusadusu luandi lungolo, lu koko kuandi ku lubakala.

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

Bankaka bantulanga diana mu matoma ma mvita, bankaka mu ziphunda. Vayi beto tuntulanga diana mu dizina di Yave, Nzambi eto.

8 They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

Bawu beti fukama mu makuma mawu ayi beti bua; Vayi beto tueti telama ayi tuidi kaka bakinda.

9 O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.

Yave vukisa ntinu Bika wutuvana mvutu mu thangu tueti tela.
