< Zaburi 20 >

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Bwana na akujibu unapokuwa katika dhiki, jina la Mungu wa Yakobo na liwe kinga yako.
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 Na akutumie msaada kutoka patakatifu na akupatie msaada kutoka Sayuni.
sending you help from the temple, out of Zion supporting you.
3 Na azikumbuke dhabihu zako zote, na azikubali sadaka zako za kuteketezwa.
All your meal-offerings may he remember, your burnt-offerings look on with favor. (Selah)
4 Na akujalie haja ya moyo wako, na aifanikishe mipango yako yote.
May he grant you your heart’s desire, and bring all your plans to pass.
5 Tutashangilia kwa furaha utakaposhinda, tutainua bendera zetu kwa jina la Mungu wetu. Bwana na akupe haja zako zote.
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 Sasa nafahamu kuwa Bwana humwokoa mpakwa mafuta wake, humjibu kutoka mbingu yake takatifu kwa nguvu za wokovu wa mkono wake wa kuume.
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 Wengine wanatumaini magari ya vita, na wengine farasi, bali sisi tutalitumainia jina la Bwana, Mungu wetu.
Some in chariots are strong, some in horses; but our strength is the Lord our God.
8 Wao wameshushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tunainuka na kusimama imara.
They will totter and fall, while we rise and stand firm.
9 Ee Bwana, mwokoe mfalme! Tujibu tunapokuita!
Give victory, Lord, to the king, and answer us when we call.
