< Psalms 20 >
1 To the choirmaster a psalm of David. May he answer you Yahweh in a day of trouble may it set on high you [the] name of - [the] God of Jacob.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana na akujibu unapokuwa katika dhiki, jina la Mungu wa Yakobo na liwe kinga yako.
2 May he send help your from [the] sanctuary and from Zion may he support you.
Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.
3 May he remember all offerings your and burnt offering your may he accept! (Selah)
Na azikumbuke dhabihu zako zote, na azikubali sadaka zako za kuteketezwa.
4 May he give to you according to heart your and every plan your may he fulfill.
Na akujalie haja ya moyo wako, na aifanikishe mipango yako yote.
5 We will shout for joy - at victory your and in [the] name of God our we will raise a banner may he fulfill Yahweh all requests your.
Tutashangilia kwa furaha utakaposhinda, tutainua bendera zetu kwa jina la Mungu wetu. Bwana na akupe haja zako zote.
6 Now I know that he delivers - Yahweh anointed his he answers him from [the] heavens of holiness his with [the] mighty deeds of salvation of right [hand] his.
Sasa nafahamu kuwa Bwana humwokoa mpakwa mafuta wake, humjibu kutoka mbingu yake takatifu kwa nguvu za wokovu wa mkono wake wa kuume.
7 These chariotry and these horses and we - [the] name of Yahweh God our we bring to remembrance.
Wengine wanatumaini magari ya vita, na wengine farasi, bali sisi tutalitumainia jina la Bwana, Mungu wetu.
8 They they bow down and they fall and we we arise and we have kept upright.
Wao wameshushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tunainuka na kusimama imara.
9 O Yahweh save! the king may he answer us on [the] day call out we.
Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!
