Zaburi 20

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

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May YHWH answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

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

He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

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

He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

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

He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

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

We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May YHWH grant 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 YHWH saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.

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 trust the name of YHWH our God.

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

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

9 Yahwe, umuokoe mfalme; utusaidie sisi tukuitapo.

Save, YHWH. Let the King answer us when we call.
