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 Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee.

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

Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion.

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

Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt-sacrifice. (Selah)

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

Grant thee according to thy own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel.

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 thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfill 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 I know that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of 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 will remember the name of the LORD our God.

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

They are brought down and fallen: but we are raised, and stand upright.

9 Yahwe, umuokoe mfalme; utusaidie sisi tukuitapo.

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
