Psalms 20

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Yehova akuyankhe pamene uli pa msautso; dzina la Mulungu wa Yakobo likuteteze.

2 May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

Iye atumize thandizo kuchokera ku malo ake opatulika; akugwirizize kuchokera ku Ziyoni.

3 May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah)

Iye akumbukire nsembe zako zonse ndipo alandire nsembe zako zopsereza. (Sela)

4 May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

Akupatse chokhumba cha mtima wako ndipo akuthandize kuti zonse wakonza zichitike.

5 We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

Ife tidzafuwula ndi chimwemwe pamene iwe wapambana ndipo tidzanyamula mbendera zathu mʼdzina la Mulungu wathu, Yehova ayankhe zopempha zako zonse.

6 Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

Tsopano ndadziwa kuti Yehova amapulumutsa wodzozedwa wake; Iye amamuyankha kuchokera kumwamba ku malo ake opatulika ndi mphamvu yopulumutsa ya dzanja lake lamanja.

7 Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

Ena amadalira magaleta ndipo ena akavalo koma ife tidzadalira dzina la Yehova Mulungu wathu.

8 They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

Iwo amagonjetsedwa ndi kugwa, koma ife timadzuka ndi kuyima chilili.

9 Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.

Inu Yehova, pulumutsani mfumu! Tiyankheni pamene tikuyitanani!
