Zaburi 20

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

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH answers you, In a day of adversity, The Name of the God of Jacob sets you on high,

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

He sends your help from the sanctuary, And supports you from Zion,

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

He remembers all your presents, And reduces your burnt-offering to ashes. (Selah)

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

He gives to you according to your heart, And fulfills all your counsel.

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

We sing of Your salvation, And in the Name of our God set up a banner. YHWH fulfills all your requests.

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 have known That YHWH has saved His anointed, He answers him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of His right hand.

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

Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the Name of our God YHWH Make mention.

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

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

9 Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!

O YHWH, save the king, He answers us in the day we call!
