Psalms 86
1 A prayer of David. Please listen to me, Lord! Please answer me, for I am weak and really need your help!
Libondeli ya Davidi. Yawe, yoka mpe yanola ngai; pamba te nazali mobola mpe moto akelela.
2 Don't let me die, for I am faithful to you. Save me, for I am your servant and I trust in you. You are my God.
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 kind to me, Lord, for I call out to you all day long.
Oh Nkolo, yokela ngai mawa; pamba te nabelelaka Yo tango nyonso!
4 Make me happy, Lord, for I've dedicated my life to you.
Nkolo, sepelisa motema na ngai, mosali na Yo, pamba te natombolaka molimo na ngai epai na Yo.
5 For you, Lord, are good; you are forgiving and full of trustworthy love for all who come to you.
Nkolo, ozali malamu, olimbisaka, otonda na bolingo mpo na bato nyonso oyo babelelaka Yo.
6 Lord, please listen to my prayer. Hear my call for help.
Yawe, yoka losambo na ngai, yoka libondeli na ngai!
7 When I'm in trouble I cry out to you because I know you will answer me.
Na mokolo ya pasi na ngai, nabelelaka Yo, pamba te oyanolaka ngai.
8 There's no one like you among the “gods,” Lord. No one can do the things you do.
Nkolo, nzambe moko te ekokani na Yo, kati na banzambe; moko te ekoki kosala makambo oyo Yo osalaka.
9 You created all the nations, and they will come and bow down before you, Lord. They will declare how wonderful you are.
Nkolo, bikolo nyonso oyo osala ekoya kogumbama liboso na Yo mpe ekoya kopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo.
10 For you are great, and do wonderful things! Only you are God.
Pamba te ozali monene mpe osalaka bikamwa; Yo kaka nde ozali Nzambe.
11 Lord, please teach me your way, so I can depend on your trustworthiness. Make me single-minded, so I can consistently honor the kind of person you are.
Yawe, lakisa ngai nzela na Yo, mpe nakotambola kolanda bosolo na Yo. Pesa ngai motema ya sembo mpo ete natosa Yo.
12 Lord my God, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will praise your character forever.
Nkolo, Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo, na motema na ngai mobimba, nakopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo mpo na Yo libela.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo mpo na ngai ezali monene, mpe okangolaki ngai wuta na mozindo ya mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
14 God, arrogant people are attacking me, vicious people are trying to kill me. To them you count for nothing.
Nzambe, bato ya lofundu bazali kobundisa ngai, mpe ngulupa ya bato na kanza bazali koluka koboma ngai; batosaka Yo ata moke te.
15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and faithfulness.
Kasi Yo Nkolo, ozali Nzambe na mawa mpe na ngolu, osilikaka noki te, otonda na bolingo mpe na boyengebene.
16 Turn to me, have mercy on me. Give me your strength, your servant; save the son of your servant-girl.
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 Show me a sign that you approve of me! Those who hate me will see it, and they will be ashamed because you, Lord, have helped 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.
