Psalms 20

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend 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 his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!

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

3 May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! (Pause)

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

4 May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!

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

5 We will rejoice in thy protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled all thy petitions.

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 Now I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him with the saving strength of his right hand.

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 glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

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

8 They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

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

9 The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!

Yave vukisa ntinu Bika wutuvana mvutu mu thangu tueti tela.
