Zaburi 20

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

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

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

Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

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

Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

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

Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

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

We will shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfil all thy petitions.

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, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

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

These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

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

They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

9 Yahwe, umuokoe mfalme; utusaidie sisi tukuitapo.

Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.
