Zaburi 20

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

For the music director. A psalm of David. May the Lord answer you when you are in trouble; 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 the Lord send you help from the sanctuary, and may he support you from Zion.

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

May the Lord remember all your offerings, and accept all your burnt sacrifices. (Selah)

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

May the Lord give you whatever you really want; may he make all your plans successful.

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

May we shout for joy over your victory, and set up banners in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your requests.

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.

Now I know that the Lord saves the one he has anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, and save his anointed by his powerful right hand.

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

Some trust in chariots and some in war horses, but we trust in who the Lord our God is.

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

They collapse and fall down, but we rise and stand up.

9 Yahwe, umuokoe mfalme; utusaidie sisi tukuitapo.

May the Lord save the king! Please answer us when we call for help!
