< Psalms 86 >
1 Yahweh, listen [IDM] to what I say and answer me, because I am weak and needy.
Libondeli ya Davidi. Yawe, yoka mpe yanola ngai; pamba te nazali mobola mpe moto akelela.
2 Prevent me from dying now, because I (am loyal to/continue to believe in) you; save/rescue me, because I serve you and I trust in you, 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 Lord, be kind to me, because I cry out to you all during the day.
Oh Nkolo, yokela ngai mawa; pamba te nabelelaka Yo tango nyonso!
4 Lord, cause me to be glad, because I (pray to/worship) [IDM] you.
Nkolo, sepelisa motema na ngai, mosali na Yo, pamba te natombolaka molimo na ngai epai na Yo.
5 Lord, you are good [to us], and you forgive [us]; you faithfully love very much all those who (pray/call out) to you.
Nkolo, ozali malamu, olimbisaka, otonda na bolingo mpo na bato nyonso oyo babelelaka Yo.
6 Lord, listen to my prayer; hear me when I cry out to you to help me.
Yawe, yoka losambo na ngai, yoka libondeli na ngai!
7 When I have troubles, I call out to you, because you answer me.
Na mokolo ya pasi na ngai, nabelelaka Yo, pamba te oyanolaka ngai.
8 Lord, among all the gods [whom the heathen nations worship], there is no one like you; not one of them has done [the great things] that you have done.
Nkolo, nzambe moko te ekokani na Yo, kati na banzambe; moko te ekoki kosala makambo oyo Yo osalaka.
9 Lord, [some day, people from] all the nations that you have established will come and bow down in front of you and they will praise you [MTY].
Nkolo, bikolo nyonso oyo osala ekoya kogumbama liboso na Yo mpe ekoya kopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo.
10 You are great, and you do wonderful/marvelous things; only you are God.
Pamba te ozali monene mpe osalaka bikamwa; Yo kaka nde ozali Nzambe.
11 Yahweh, teach me what you want me to do in order that I may conduct my life according to what you say, which is true. Cause/Teach me to revere you.
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 [will] thank you with all my inner being, and I will praise you forever.
Nkolo, Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo, na motema na ngai mobimba, nakopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo mpo na Yo libela.
13 You faithfully love me very much; you have prevented me from [dying and going to] the place where dead people are. (Sheol )
Pamba te bolingo na Yo mpo na ngai ezali monene, mpe okangolaki ngai wuta na mozindo ya mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol )
14 But God, proud men are [trying to] attack me; a gang/group of cruel men are wanting to kill me; they are men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.
Nzambe, bato ya lofundu bazali kobundisa ngai, mpe ngulupa ya bato na kanza bazali koluka koboma ngai; batosaka Yo ata moke te.
15 But Lord, you always are mercifully and kind; you do not become angry quickly, you faithfully love us very much and always do for us what you have promised to do.
Kasi Yo Nkolo, ozali Nzambe na mawa mpe na ngolu, osilikaka noki te, otonda na bolingo mpe na boyengebene.
16 Look down toward me and be merciful to me; cause me to be strong and save/rescue me who serves you [faithfully] like my mother did.
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 Yahweh, do something to show me that you are being good to me in order that those who hate me will see that you have encouraged me and helped me, and as a result they will be ashamed.
Salela ngai elembo ya boboto na Yo mpo ete banguna na ngai bamona yango mpe bakufa soni! Yawe, ozali Mosungi mpe Mobondi na ngai.
