Psalms 86
1 A Prayer by David. Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
Libondeli ya Davidi. Yawe, yoka mpe yanola ngai; pamba te nazali mobola mpe moto akelela.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
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 merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
Oh Nkolo, yokela ngai mawa; pamba te nabelelaka Yo tango nyonso!
4 Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Nkolo, sepelisa motema na ngai, mosali na Yo, pamba te natombolaka molimo na ngai epai na Yo.
5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
Nkolo, ozali malamu, olimbisaka, otonda na bolingo mpo na bato nyonso oyo babelelaka Yo.
6 Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
Yawe, yoka losambo na ngai, yoka libondeli na ngai!
7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.
Na mokolo ya pasi na ngai, nabelelaka Yo, pamba te oyanolaka ngai.
8 There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.
Nkolo, nzambe moko te ekokani na Yo, kati na banzambe; moko te ekoki kosala makambo oyo Yo osalaka.
9 All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.
Nkolo, bikolo nyonso oyo osala ekoya kogumbama liboso na Yo mpe ekoya kopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo.
10 For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.
Pamba te ozali monene mpe osalaka bikamwa; Yo kaka nde ozali Nzambe.
11 Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
Yawe, lakisa ngai nzela na Yo, mpe nakotambola kolanda bosolo na Yo. Pesa ngai motema ya sembo mpo ete natosa Yo.
12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more.
Nkolo, Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo, na motema na ngai mobimba, nakopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo mpo na Yo libela.
13 For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Pamba te bolingo na Yo mpo na ngai ezali monene, mpe okangolaki ngai wuta na mozindo ya mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
14 God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them.
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 merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
Kasi Yo Nkolo, ozali Nzambe na mawa mpe na ngolu, osilikaka noki te, otonda na bolingo mpe na boyengebene.
16 Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant.
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 of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted 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.
