Psalms 20

1 “To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” May the Lord answer thee on the day of distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Guyyaa rakkinaatti Waaqayyo deebii siif haa kennu; maqaan Waaqa Yaaqoobis si haa eegu.

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and support thee from Zion;

Inni iddoo qulqulluudhaa gargaarsa siif haa ergu; Xiyoon irraas jabina siif haa kennu.

3 May he remember all thy meat-offerings, and accept in favor thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah)

Aarsaa kee hunda siif haa yaadatu; qalma kee kan gubamus siif haa fudhatu.

4 May he grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy resolves.

Hawwii garaa keetii siif haa kennu; karoora kee hundas fiixaan siif haa baasu.

5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we upraise our banners: may the Lord fulfill all thy petitions.

Yommuu ati moʼattutti ililchinee maqaa Waaqa keenyaatiin faajjii keenya ol fudhanna. Waaqayyo waan ati kadhattu hundumaa siif haa kennu.

6 Now I know that the Lord saveth his anointed: he will answer him from his holy heavens, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Ani akka Waaqayyo dibamaa isaa fayyisu amma beeka; Waaqayyo humna nama fayyisu kan harka isaa mirgaa keessa jiru sanaan samii isaa qulqulluu keessaa deebii ni kennaaf.

7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses; but we will invoke the name of the Lord our God.

Namoonni tokko tokko gaariiwwan amanatu; kaan immoo fardeen amanatu; nu garuu maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa amananna.

8 They are prostrate and fallen; but we are risen up and stand erect.

Isaan gufatanii kufu; nu garuu ol kaana; jabaannees ni dhaabanna.

9 O Lord, save [us]: may the king answer us on the day when we call [on him].

Yaa Waaqayyo, ati mootiidhaaf moʼannaa kenni! Yommuu nu si waammannuttis deebii nuu kenni!
