Psalms 20

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth set thee on high,

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Bika Yave kavana mvutu bu widi mu ziphasi, bika dizina di Nzambi yi Yakobi dikeba.

2 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion doth support thee,

Bika kafidisa lusadusu bu kadi ku buangu kinlongo Bika kakindisa bu kadi ku Sioni.

3 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. (Selah)

Bika katebukila makaba maku moso moyo. Ayi kakikinina makaba maku maviku.

4 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

Bika kavana bitidi ntimꞌaku. Ayi bika kanungisa zikhubukulu ziaku zioso.

5 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests.

Tuela yamikina mu khini bu wela tambula ndungunu. Tuela vumbula bidalapo bieto ku Yilu mu dizina di Nzambi eto. Bika Yave kadukisa zindombolo ziaku zioso.

6 Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

Buabu nzebi ti Yave wumvukisanga mutu andi wuka vinda mafuta, weti kumvana mvutu bu kadi ku Diyilu, diandi dinlongo mu lusadusu luandi lungolo, lu koko kuandi ku lubakala.

7 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of Jehovah our God Make mention.

Bankaka bantulanga diana mu matoma ma mvita, bankaka mu ziphunda. Vayi beto tuntulanga diana mu dizina di Yave, Nzambi eto.

8 They — they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen and station ourselves upright.

Bawu beti fukama mu makuma mawu ayi beti bua; Vayi beto tueti telama ayi tuidi kaka bakinda.

9 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we call!

Yave vukisa ntinu Bika wutuvana mvutu mu thangu tueti tela.
