Thaburi 20

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Jehova arogwĩtĩka rĩrĩa ũrĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ; rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai wa Jakubu rĩrokũgitĩra.

For the leader. A psalm of David. The Lord answer you in the day of distress, the name of the Jacob’s God protect you,

2 Arokũrehere ũteithio kuuma handũ harĩa hake haamũre, na agũtiirĩrĩre arĩ kũu Zayuni.

sending you help from the temple, out of Zion supporting you.

3 Aroririkana magongona maku mothe, na etĩkĩre maruta maku ma njino.

All your meal-offerings may he remember, your burnt-offerings look on with favour. (Selah)

4 Arokũhe maũndũ marĩa ngoro yaku ĩĩrirĩirie, na atũme mĩbango yaku yothe ĩgaacĩre.

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and bring all your plans to pass.

5 Rĩrĩa ũkaahootana nĩtũkoigĩrĩria na gĩkeno, na tuoye bendera ciitũ na igũrũ nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai witũ. Jehova arokũhingĩria maũndũ marĩa mothe ũmũhooete.

We will shout then for joy at your victory, and rejoice in the name of our God. May the Lord grant your every request.

6 Rĩu nĩmenyete atĩ Jehova nĩahonokagia ũrĩa wake mũitĩrĩrie maguta; nĩamwĩtĩkaga arĩ kũu igũrũ rĩake rĩamũre, arĩ na ũhoti wa kũhonokania ũrĩa ũrĩ guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo.

Now I am sure that the Lord will help his anointed. From his temple in heaven he will answer by his mighty triumphant right hand.

7 Andũ amwe mehokaga ngaari cia ita, na angĩ makehoka mbarathi, no ithuĩ twĩhokaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai witũ.

Some in chariots are strong, some in horses; but our strength is the Lord our God.

8 Makurumaga makagũa thĩ, no ithuĩ tũrũgamaga tũkehaanda.

They will totter and fall, while we rise and stand firm.

9 Wee Jehova, honokia mũthamaki! Twĩtĩkage rĩrĩa twagũkaĩra!

Give victory, Lord, to the king, and answer us when we call.
