< Psalms 86 >
1 A Prayer of David. Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.
Libondeli ya Davidi. Yawe, yoka mpe yanola ngai; pamba te nazali mobola mpe moto akelela.
2 Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.
Batela bomoi na ngai, pamba te nazali moyengebene na Yo. Yo, Nzambe na ngai, bikisa ngai, mosali na Yo, oyo natiaka elikya kati na Yo.
3 Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.
Oh Nkolo, yokela ngai mawa; pamba te nabelelaka Yo tango nyonso!
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Nkolo, sepelisa motema na ngai, mosali na Yo, pamba te natombolaka molimo na ngai epai na Yo.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.
Nkolo, ozali malamu, olimbisaka, otonda na bolingo mpo na bato nyonso oyo babelelaka Yo.
6 Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.
Yawe, yoka losambo na ngai, yoka libondeli na ngai!
7 In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.
Na mokolo ya pasi na ngai, nabelelaka Yo, pamba te oyanolaka ngai.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.
Nkolo, nzambe moko te ekokani na Yo, kati na banzambe; moko te ekoki kosala makambo oyo Yo osalaka.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.
Nkolo, bikolo nyonso oyo osala ekoya kogumbama liboso na Yo mpe ekoya kopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.
Pamba te ozali monene mpe osalaka bikamwa; Yo kaka nde ozali Nzambe.
11 Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Yawe, lakisa ngai nzela na Yo, mpe nakotambola kolanda bosolo na Yo. Pesa ngai motema ya sembo mpo ete natosa Yo.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
Nkolo, Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo, na motema na ngai mobimba, nakopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo mpo na Yo libela.
13 For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol )
Pamba te bolingo na Yo mpo na ngai ezali monene, mpe okangolaki ngai wuta na mozindo ya mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol )
14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.
Nzambe, bato ya lofundu bazali kobundisa ngai, mpe ngulupa ya bato na kanza bazali koluka koboma ngai; batosaka Yo ata moke te.
15 But thou, Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.
Kasi Yo Nkolo, ozali Nzambe na mawa mpe na ngolu, osilikaka noki te, otonda na bolingo mpe na boyengebene.
16 Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Balola elongi na Yo epai na ngai mpe yokela ngai mawa; pesa ngai, mosali na Yo, makasi mpe bikisa ngai mwana ya mwasi mosali na Yo!
17 Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.
Salela ngai elembo ya boboto na Yo mpo ete banguna na ngai bamona yango mpe bakufa soni! Yawe, ozali Mosungi mpe Mobondi na ngai.
