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].
Nawa ay tulungan ka ni Yahweh sa araw ng kaguluhan; nawa ang pangalan ng Diyos ni Jacob ang mangalaga sa iyo
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].
at magpadala ng tulong mula sa banal na lugar para magtaguyod sa iyo sa Sion.
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.
Nawa maalala niya ang lahat ng iyong mga alay at tanggapin ang iyong sinunog na handog. (Selah)
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.
Nawa ay ipagkaloob niya sa iyo ang hinahangad ng iyong puso at tuparin ang lahat ng iyong mga plano.
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.
Pagkatapos magagalak kami sa iyong tagumpay, at, sa pangalan ng ating Diyos, itataas namin ang mga bandila. Nawa ay ipagkaloob ni Yahweh ang lahat ng iyong kahilingan.
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].
Ngayon alam ko na ililigtas ni Yahweh ang kaniyang hinirang; sasagutin siya mula sa kaniyang banal na kalangitan na may lakas ng kaniyang kanang kamay na maaari siyang sagipin.
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.
Nagtitiwala ang ilan sa mga kalesang pandigma at ang iba ay sa mga kabayo, pero ang tinatawagan namin ay si Yahweh na aming Diyos.
8 Some kings will stumble and fall down, but we will be strong and (not be moved/continue standing firm).
(Sila) ay ibababa at ibabagsak, pero tayo ay babangon at tatayong matuwid!
9 Yahweh, enable [me], your king, to defeat our enemies! Answer us when we call out to you [to help us.]
Yahweh, sagipin mo ang hari; tulungan mo kami kapag kami ay nananawagan.
