Zaburi 20

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana na akujibu unapokuwa katika dhiki, jina la Mungu wa Yakobo na liwe kinga yako.

Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high,

2 Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.

send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion,

3 Na azikumbuke dhabihu zako zote, na azikubali sadaka zako za kuteketezwa.

remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice (Selah)

4 Na akujalie haja ya moyo wako, na aifanikishe mipango yako yote.

grant thee thy heart's desire, and fulfill all thy counsel.

5 Tutashangilia kwa furaha utakaposhinda, tutainua bendera zetu kwa jina la Mungu wetu. Bwana na akupe haja zako zote.

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners. Jehovah fulfill all thy petitions.

6 Sasa nafahamu kuwa Bwana humwokoa mpakwa mafuta wake, humjibu kutoka mbingu yake takatifu kwa nguvu za wokovu wa mkono wake wa kuume.

Now I know that Jehovah saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Wengine wanatumaini magari ya vita, na wengine farasi, bali sisi tutalitumainia jina la Bwana, Mungu wetu.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

8 Wao wameshushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tunainuka na kusimama imara.

They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen, and stand upright.

9 Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!

Save, Jehovah! Let the King answer us when we call.
