Psalms 20
1 I desire that Yahweh will answer you [when you call out to him] when you have troubles! God is the one whom ([our ancestor] Jacob/the Israeli people) [worshiped]; I desire that he will protect you [MTY] [from being harmed by your enemies].
Ngaihkyi kawbing na na awm huiawh Bawipa ing nim hlat seitaw; Jacob a Khawsa ang ming ing ni hlip nik chung seh nyng.
2 I desire/hope that he will reach out from his sacred temple and help you, and aid you from [where he lives] on Zion [Hill].
Ahun caih awhkawng na ham bawmnaak tyi law seitaw Zion awhkawng dylnaak ce ni pe seh nyng.
3 I desire/hope that he will accept all the offerings that you give him to be burned [on the altar], and all your [other] offerings.
Lucik na sainaak boeih ce sim loet seitaw na hyihphumnaak ce zeel doena do seh nyng.
4 I want him to give to you what you desire, and that you will be able to accomplish all that you desire to do.
Nak kawlung ngaihnaak ce ni pe seitaw nang cainaakkhqi boeih ce coeng sak seh nyng.
5 When [we hear that] you have defeated [your enemies], we will shout joyfully. We will lift up a banner proclaiming that it is God [MTY] [who helps us](inc). I want Yahweh to [do for you] all that you request him to do.
Noengnaak na huh awh zeel doena khy kawng unyng saw ni Khawsa ang ming ing hizan ce hak zoek kawng unyng. Bawipa ing na thoehnaak boeih ce ni pe seh nyng.
6 I know now that Yahweh rescues [me], the one whom he has chosen [to be king]. From his holy place in heaven he will answer me, and he will save me by his great power [MTY].
Bawipa ing ak thlang tyh ce hul hy ti sim hawh nyng; ak tang ben awhkaw hulnaak tha ing ak khan caih nakawng anih ce hlat hy.
7 Some [kings] trust that because they have chariots [they will be able to defeat their enemies], and some trust that their horses [will enable them to defeat their enemies], but we will trust in the power [MTY] of Yahweh our God.
Thlang pynoet ing meqang phleng ypna unawh pynoet ing meqangkhqi ypna uhy, cehlai ningnih ingtaw Bawipa ni khawsa ang ming ce ni ypna uhy.
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
Cekkhqi ing amim khuk tawk et nawh tlu hlai uhy, ningnih taw ni hang tho unawh ak cak na ning dyi uhy.
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
Aw Bawipa, sangpahqang ve hul lah! Kaimih ing kamik khy awh nim hlat khqi lah!
