Zaburi 86
1 Maombi ya Daudi. Ee Bwana, sikia na unijibu, kwa maana mimi ni maskini na mhitaji.
A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
2 Linda maisha yangu, kwa maana nimejiweka kwako, wewe ni Mungu wangu, mwokoe mtumishi wako anayekutumaini.
Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant — who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.
3 Ee Bwana, nihurumie mimi, kwa maana ninakuita mchana kutwa.
Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.
4 Mpe mtumishi wako furaha, kwa kuwa kwako wewe, Ee Bwana, ninainua nafsi yangu.
Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.
5 Ee Bwana, wewe ni mwema na mwenye kusamehe, umejaa upendo kwa wote wakuitao.
For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.
6 Ee Bwana, sikia maombi yangu, sikiliza kilio changu unihurumie.
Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 Katika siku ya shida yangu nitakuita, kwa maana wewe utanijibu.
In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.
8 Ee Bwana, katikati ya miungu hakuna kama wewe, hakuna matendo ya kulinganishwa na yako.
There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.
9 Ee Bwana, mataifa yote uliyoyafanya yatakuja na kuabudu mbele zako; wataliletea utukufu jina lako.
All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.
10 Kwa maana wewe ni mkuu, na unafanya mambo ya ajabu; wewe peke yako ndiwe Mungu.
For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.
11 Ee Bwana, nifundishe njia yako, nami nitakwenda katika kweli yako; nipe moyo usiositasita, ili niweze kulicha jina lako.
Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.
12 Ee Bwana wangu, nitakusifu kwa moyo wote; nitaliadhimisha jina lako milele.
I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.
For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast 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.
O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,
15 Lakini wewe, Ee Bwana, ni Mungu wa huruma na neema, si mwepesi wa hasira, bali ni mwingi wa upendo na uaminifu.
And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
16 Nigeukie na unihurumie; mpe mtumishi wako nguvu zako, mwokoe mwana wa mtumishi wako wa kike.
Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.
17 Nipe ishara ya wema wako, ili adui zangu waione nao waaibishwe, kwa kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana, umenisaidia na kunifariji.
Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!
