Psalms 20

1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

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

2 Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.

3 Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

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

4 Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

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

5 We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfil all thy petitions.

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

6 Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own 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 These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

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

8 They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

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

9 Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.

Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!
