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].
Kumutungamiri wokuimba. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Jehovha ngaakupindure paunotambudzika; zita raMwari waJakobho ngarikudzivirire.
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].
Ngaakutumire rubatsiro runobva panzvimbo tsvene, uye akupe rutsigiro runobva kuZioni.
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.
Ngaarangarire zvibayiro zvako zvose uye agogamuchira zvibayiro zvako zvinopiswa. Sera
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.
Ngaakupe zvinodikanwa nomwoyo wako, uye aite kuti urongwa hwako hwose hubudirire.
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.
Tichadanidzira nomufaro pakukunda kwako, uye tichasimudza mireza yedu muzita raMwari wedu. Jehovha ngaakupe zvose zvawakakumbira.
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].
Zvino ndava kuziva kuti Jehovha anoponesa muzodziwa wake; anomupindura ari kudenga rake dzvene, nesimba rokuponesa kworuoko rwake rworudyi.
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.
Vamwe vanovimba nengoro, vamwe namabhiza, asi isu tinovimba nezita raJehovha Mwari wedu.
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
Vanowisirwa pasi namabvi avo vagowa, asi isu tinosimuka tigomira takasimba.
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
Haiwa Jehovha, ponesai mambo! Tipindurei patinodana!
