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].
Abụ Ọma nke dịrị onyeisi abụ. Abụ Ọma Devid. Ka Onyenwe anyị zaa gị nʼụbọchị nsogbu gị; ka aha Chineke nke Jekọb chebe gị.
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].
Ya sitekwa nʼebe nsọ ya zitere gị inyeaka, ma site na Zayọn kwagide gị.
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.
Ya chetakwa aja niile ị chụrụ, ma nabata aja nsure ọkụ niile ị chụrụ nye ya. (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.
Ya mezukwara gị ihe niile nke obi gị na-achọ, mekwaa ka atụmatụ gị niile gaa nke ọma.
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.
Anyị ga-eti mkpu ọṅụ maka mmeri i meriri, buliekwa ọkọlọtọ anyị elu nʼaha Chineke anyị. Ka Onyenwe anyị mezuo arịrịọ gị niile.
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].
Ugbu a, amaara m na Onyenwe anyị na-azọpụta onye ya o tere mmanụ; ọ na-esite nʼebe nsọ ya nʼeluigwe jiri aka nri ya, zọpụta ma zakwaa ya.
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.
Ụfọdụ na-atụkwasị obi ha na ịnyịnya, ndị ọzọ nʼụgbọ agha; ma anyị na-atụkwasị aha Onyenwe anyị, Chineke anyị, obi.
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
Ha na-egbu ikpere nʼala ma daa, ma anyị ga-ebili, kwụrụ chịm.
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
O Onyenwe anyị, zọpụta eze! Zakwaa anyị mgbe anyị kpọkuru gị!
