Psalms 86
1 A prayer of David. Please listen to me, Lord! Please answer me, for I am weak and really need your help!
Maombi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, sikia na unijibu, kwa maana mimi ni maskini na mhitaji.
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.
Linda maisha yangu, kwa maana nimejiweka kwako, wewe ni Mungu wangu, mwokoe mtumishi wako anayekutumaini.
3 Be kind to me, Lord, for I call out to you all day long.
Ee Bwana, nihurumie mimi, kwa maana ninakuita mchana kutwa.
4 Make me happy, Lord, for I've dedicated my life to you.
Mpe mtumishi wako furaha, kwa kuwa kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, ninainua nafsi yangu.
5 For you, Lord, are good; you are forgiving and full of trustworthy love for all who come to you.
Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwema na mwenye kusamehe, umejaa upendo kwa wote wakuitao.
6 Lord, please listen to my prayer. Hear my call for help.
Ee Bwana, sikia maombi yangu, sikiliza kilio changu unihurumie.
7 When I'm in trouble I cry out to you because I know you will answer me.
Katika siku ya shida yangu nitakuita, kwa maana wewe utanijibu.
8 There's no one like you among the “gods,” Lord. No one can do the things you do.
Ee Bwana, katikati ya miungu hakuna kama wewe, hakuna matendo ya kulinganishwa na yako.
9 You created all the nations, and they will come and bow down before you, Lord. They will declare how wonderful you are.
Ee Bwana, mataifa yote uliyoyafanya yatakuja na kuabudu mbele zako; wataliletea utukufu jina lako.
10 For you are great, and do wonderful things! Only you are God.
Kwa maana wewe ni mkuu, na unafanya mambo ya ajabu; wewe peke yako ndiwe Mungu.
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.
Ee Bwana, nifundishe njia yako, nami nitakwenda katika kweli yako; nipe moyo usiositasita, ili niweze kulicha jina lako.
12 Lord my God, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will praise your character forever.
Ee Bwana wangu, nitakusifu kwa moyo wote; nitaliadhimisha jina lako milele.
Kwa maana upendo wako ni mkuu kwangu; umeniokoa kutoka kwenye vilindi vya kaburi. (Sheol h7585)
14 God, arrogant people are attacking me, vicious people are trying to kill me. To them you count for nothing.
Ee Mungu, wenye majivuno wananishambulia; kundi la watu wakatili linatafuta uhai wangu: watu wasiokuheshimu wewe.
15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and faithfulness.
Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni Mungu wa huruma na neema, si mwepesi wa hasira, bali ni mwingi wa upendo na uaminifu.
16 Turn to me, have mercy on me. Give me your strength, your servant; save the son of your servant-girl.
Nigeukie na unihurumie; mpe mtumishi wako nguvu zako, mwokoe mwana wa mtumishi wako wa kike.
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.
Nipe ishara ya wema wako, ili adui zangu waione nao waaibishwe, kwa kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, umenisaidia na kunifariji.
