Zaburi 86
1 Maombi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, sikia na unijibu, kwa maana mimi ni maskini na mhitaji.
A Prayer by David. Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Linda maisha yangu, kwa maana nimejiweka kwako, wewe ni Mungu wangu, mwokoe mtumishi wako anayekutumaini.
Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Ee Bwana, nihurumie mimi, kwa maana ninakuita mchana kutwa.
Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
4 Mpe mtumishi wako furaha, kwa kuwa kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, ninainua nafsi yangu.
Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwema na mwenye kusamehe, umejaa upendo kwa wote wakuitao.
For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
6 Ee Bwana, sikia maombi yangu, sikiliza kilio changu unihurumie.
Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
7 Katika siku ya shida yangu nitakuita, kwa maana wewe utanijibu.
In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.
8 Ee Bwana, katikati ya miungu hakuna kama wewe, hakuna matendo ya kulinganishwa na yako.
There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.
9 Ee Bwana, mataifa yote uliyoyafanya yatakuja na kuabudu mbele zako; wataliletea utukufu jina lako.
All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.
10 Kwa maana wewe ni mkuu, na unafanya mambo ya ajabu; wewe peke yako ndiwe Mungu.
For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.
11 Ee Bwana, nifundishe njia yako, nami nitakwenda katika kweli yako; nipe moyo usiositasita, ili niweze kulicha jina lako.
Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
12 Ee Bwana wangu, nitakusifu kwa moyo wote; nitaliadhimisha jina lako milele.
I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more.
For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 Ee Mungu, wenye majivuno wananishambulia; kundi la watu wakatili linatafuta uhai wangu: watu wasiokuheshimu wewe.
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.
15 Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni Mungu wa huruma na neema, si mwepesi wa hasira, bali ni mwingi wa upendo na uaminifu.
But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
16 Nigeukie na unihurumie; mpe mtumishi wako nguvu zako, mwokoe mwana wa mtumishi wako wa kike.
Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant.
17 Nipe ishara ya wema wako, ili adui zangu waione nao waaibishwe, kwa kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, umenisaidia na kunifariji.
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.
