Zaburi 20

1 Kwa kiongozi wa muziki. Zaburi ya Daudi. Mungu akusaidie wakati wa shida; na jina la Mungu wa Yakobo likulinde

Unto the end. A Psalm of David. May the Lord hear you in the day of tribulation. May the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 na kutuma msaada kutoka mahali patakatifu kwa ajili ya kukutegemeza wewe kutoka Sayuni.

May he send you help from the sanctuary and watch over you from Zion.

3 Naye akumbuke sadaka yako yote na kuipokea sadaka ya kuteketezwa.

May he be mindful of all your sacrifices, and may your burnt-offerings be fat.

4 Naye akujalie haja za moyo wako na kutimiza mipango yako yote.

May he grant to you according to your heart, and confirm all your counsels.

5 Ndipo tutakapo shangilia katika ushindi wako, na, katika jina la Mungu wetu, tutapeperusha bendera. Yahwe naakupe maombi yako yote ya haki.

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God, we will be magnified.

6 Sasa ninajua ya kuwa Yahwe atawaokoa wapakwa mafuta wake; yeye atamjibu yeye kutoka katika mbingu takatifu kwa uweza wa mkono wake wa kuume ambao waweza kumuokoa yeye.

May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. Now I know that the Lord has saved his Christ. He will hear him from his holy heaven. The salvation of his right hand is in his power.

7 Baadhi hamini katika magari na wengine katika farasi, lakini sisi tumuita Yahwe Mungu wetu.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

8 Wao watashushwa chini na kuanguka, bali sisi tutainuka na kusimama wima!

They have been bound, and they have fallen. But we have risen up, and we have been set upright.

9 Yahwe, umuokoe mfalme; utusaidie sisi tukuitapo.

O Lord, save the king, and hear us on the day that we will call upon you.
