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].
Al la ĥorestro. Psalmo de David. La Eternulo aŭskultu vin en tago de mizero; Defendu vin la nomo de Dio de Jakob.
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].
Li sendu al vi helpon el la sanktejo, Kaj el Cion Li vin fortigu.
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.
Li rememoru ĉiujn viajn oferdonojn, Kaj via brulofero aperu grasa antaŭ Li. (Sela)
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.
Li donu al vi tion, kion deziras via koro; Kaj ĉiujn viajn intencojn Li plenumu.
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.
Ni estos gajaj pro Via venko, Kaj pro la nomo de nia Dio ni levos standardon. La Eternulo plenumu ĉiujn viajn petojn.
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].
Nun mi ekscias, ke la Eternulo savas Sian sanktoleiton; Li aŭskultas lin el Sia sankta ĉielo, Forte savas lin per Sia dekstra mano.
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.
Unuj fidas veturilojn, aliaj ĉevalojn; Sed ni alvokas la nomon de la Eternulo, nia Dio.
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
Ili ŝanceliĝas kaj falas, Kaj ni staras kaj tenas nin forte.
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
Ho Eternulo, savu; La Reĝo respondu al ni, kiam ni vokas al Li.
