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].
E HOOLOHE mai o Iehova ia oe i ka la popilikia; I ola oe i ka inoa o ke Akua no Iakoba.
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].
Mai kona keenakapu mai e hoouna mai ai oia i kou mea nana e alu; Mai Ziona mai e kokua mai ai oia ia oe.
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.
E hoomanao mai hoi i kau mau mohai a pau; A e hoopono mai hoi i kau mohai kuni. (Sila)
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.
E haawi mai hoi e like me kou naau iho, E hooko mai hoi i kou manao a pau.
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.
I kou ola e hauoli ai makou, A i ka inoa o ko kakou Akua e kau ai kakou i ka hae: E ae mai hoi o Iehova i kau pule a pau.
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].
Ano ua ike au, ua hoola o Iehova i kona mea i poniia; Ma kona lani hoano no ia e hoolohe mai ai ia ia, Me ka mana o kona lima akau e ola'i.
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.
Ma na kaakaua kekahi poe, ma na lio kekahi i manao ai; Aka, e hoomanao kakou i ka inoa o Iehova o ko kakou Akua.
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
Ua emi lakou, ua haule ilalo; Aka, ua ala mai nei makou a ku pono iluna.
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
E hoola mai, e Iehova; E hoolohe mai ke alii ia makou i ko makou kahea ana.
