Zaburi 86

1 Sikia, Ee Yahwe, na unijibu, kwa kuwa ni maskini na mnyonge.

A Prayer of David. Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.

2 Unilinde, maana mimi ni mwaminifu; Mungu wangu, umuokoe mtumishi wako anayekuamini.

Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.

3 Unihurumie, Bwana, maana ninakulilia wewe mchana kutwa.

Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.

4 Umfurahishe mtumishi wako, maana ni kwako, Bwana, ninaomba.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5 Wewe, Bwana, ni mwema, na uko tayari kusamehe, na huonesha huruma kubwa kwa wale wanao kulilia wewe.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.

6 Yahwe, sikiliza maombi yangu; sikia sauti ya ombi langu.

Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.

7 Katika siku ya shida ninakuita wewe, kwa maana utanijibu.

In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.

8 Katikati ya miungu hakuna wa kufananishwa na wewe, Bwana. Hakuna matendo kama matendo yako.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.

9 Mataifa yote ambayo umeyafanya yatakuja kwako na kusujudu mbele zako, Bwana. nao wataliheshimu jina lako.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.

10 Kwa kuwa wewe ni mkuu na utendaye mambo ya ajabu; wewe pekee ndiwe Mungu.

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.

11 Unifundishe njia zako, Yahwe. Kisha nitatembea katika kweli yako. Unifanye kukuheshimu wewe.

Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

12 Bwana Mungu wangu, nitakusifu kwa moyo wangu wote; nitalitukuza jina lako milele.

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13 Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako ni mkuu kwangu; wewe umeokoa uhai wangu kutoka chini kuzimuni. (Sheol h7585)

For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

14 Ee Mungu, wenye kiburi wameinuka dhidi yangu. Kundi la watu wenye vurugu wanautafuta uhai wangu. Nao hawakuheshimu wewe.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.

15 Lakini wewe, Bwana, ni mwenye huruma na neema, hukasiliki haraka, na mwingi katika uaminifu wa agano lako na kweli.

But thou, Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.

16 Unigeukie na unihurumie; mpe nguvu zako mtumishi wako; umuokoe mwana wa mjakazi wako.

Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17 Unioneshe ishara ya fadhila zako. Kisha wale wanichukiao wataziona na kuaibishwa kwa sababu yako; Yahwe, umenisaidia na kunifariji.

Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.
