Psalms 86
1 A prayer of David. Please listen to me, Lord! Please answer me, for I am weak and really need your help!
Sikia, Ee Yahwe, na unijibu, kwa kuwa ni maskini na mnyonge.
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.
Unilinde, maana mimi ni mwaminifu; Mungu wangu, umuokoe mtumishi wako anayekuamini.
3 Be kind to me, Lord, for I call out to you all day long.
Unihurumie, Bwana, maana ninakulilia wewe mchana kutwa.
4 Make me happy, Lord, for I've dedicated my life to you.
Umfurahishe mtumishi wako, maana ni kwako, Bwana, ninaomba.
5 For you, Lord, are good; you are forgiving and full of trustworthy love for all who come to you.
Wewe, Bwana, ni mwema, na uko tayari kusamehe, na huonesha huruma kubwa kwa wale wanao kulilia wewe.
6 Lord, please listen to my prayer. Hear my call for help.
Yahwe, sikiliza maombi yangu; sikia sauti ya ombi langu.
7 When I'm in trouble I cry out to you because I know you will answer me.
Katika siku ya shida ninakuita wewe, kwa maana utanijibu.
8 There's no one like you among the “gods,” Lord. No one can do the things you do.
Katikati ya miungu hakuna wa kufananishwa na wewe, Bwana. Hakuna matendo kama matendo yako.
9 You created all the nations, and they will come and bow down before you, Lord. They will declare how wonderful you are.
Mataifa yote ambayo umeyafanya yatakuja kwako na kusujudu mbele zako, Bwana. nao wataliheshimu jina lako.
10 For you are great, and do wonderful things! Only you are God.
Kwa kuwa wewe ni mkuu na utendaye mambo ya ajabu; wewe pekee 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.
Unifundishe njia zako, Yahwe. Kisha nitatembea katika kweli yako. Unifanye kukuheshimu wewe.
12 Lord my God, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will praise your character forever.
Bwana Mungu wangu, nitakusifu kwa moyo wangu wote; nitalitukuza jina lako milele.
Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako ni mkuu kwangu; wewe umeokoa uhai wangu kutoka chini kuzimuni. (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 kiburi wameinuka dhidi yangu. Kundi la watu wenye vurugu wanautafuta uhai wangu. Nao hawakuheshimu wewe.
15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and faithfulness.
Lakini wewe, Bwana, ni mwenye huruma na neema, hukasiliki haraka, na mwingi katika uaminifu wa agano lako na kweli.
16 Turn to me, have mercy on me. Give me your strength, your servant; save the son of your servant-girl.
Unigeukie na unihurumie; mpe nguvu zako mtumishi wako; umuokoe mwana wa mjakazi wako.
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.
Unioneshe ishara ya fadhila zako. Kisha wale wanichukiao wataziona na kuaibishwa kwa sababu yako; Yahwe, umenisaidia na kunifariji.
