Psalms 86
1 Yahweh, listen [IDM] to what I say and answer me, because I am weak and needy.
Beka indlebe yakho, Nkosi, ungiphendule, ngoba ngingumyanga, ngiyaswela.
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.
Londoloza umphefumulo wami, ngoba ngiyamesaba uNkulunkulu; wena Nkulunkulu wami, sindisa inceku yakho ekuthembayo.
3 Lord, be kind to me, because I cry out to you all during the day.
Woba lesihawu kimi, Nkosi, ngoba ngikhala kuwe usuku lonke.
4 Lord, cause me to be glad, because I (pray to/worship) [IDM] you.
Thokozisa umphefumulo wenceku yakho, ngoba kuwe, Nkosi, ngiyawuphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
5 Lord, you are good [to us], and you forgive [us]; you faithfully love very much all those who (pray/call out) to you.
Ngoba wena, Nkosi, ulungile, ungothethelelayo; umkhulu emuseni kubo bonke abakubizayo.
6 Lord, listen to my prayer; hear me when I cry out to you to help me.
Beka indlebe, Nkosi, emkhulekweni wami; ulalele ilizwi lokuncenga kwami.
7 When I have troubles, I call out to you, because you answer me.
Ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami ngizakhala kuwe, ngoba uzangiphendula.
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.
Kakho ofanana lawe phakathi kwabonkulunkulu, Nkosi, njalo enjengemisebenzi yakho kayikho.
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].
Izizwe zonke ozenzileyo zizakuza zikhothame phambi kwakho, Nkosi, zidumise ibizo lakho.
10 You are great, and you do wonderful/marvelous things; only you are God.
Ngoba wena umkhulu, wenza izinto ezimangalisayo, unguNkulunkulu wena wedwa.
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.
Ngifundisa indlela yakho, Nkosi, ngizahamba eqinisweni lakho; hlanganisa inhliziyo yami ukuze yesabe ibizo lakho.
12 Lord, my God, I [will] thank you with all my inner being, and I will praise you forever.
Ngizakudumisa, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngenhliziyo yami yonke; ngilidumise ibizo lakho kuze kube nininini.
13 You faithfully love me very much; you have prevented me from [dying and going to] the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba umusa wakho phezu kwami mkhulu; njalo wakhulula umphefumulo wami esihogweni esingaphansi kakhulu. (Sheol h7585)
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.
Nkulunkulu, abazigqajayo bangivukele, lemibuthano yabalobudlwangudlwangu idinga umphefumulo wami; njalo kabakubekanga phambi kwabo.
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.
Kodwa wena, Nkosi, unguNkulunkulu olozwelo, lolesisa, ophuza ukuthukuthela, lomkhulu emuseni leqinisweni.
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.
Phendukela kimi, ungihawukele; uyiphe inceku yakho amandla akho, usindise indodana yencekukazi yakho.
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.
Ngenzela isiboniso sokuhle, ukuze labo abangizondayo babone bayangeke, ngoba wena, Nkosi, ungisizile wangiduduza.
