Zaburi 86
1 Sikia, Ee Yahwe, na unijibu, kwa kuwa ni maskini na mnyonge.
A prayer of David. Incline your ear, Lord, and answer me, for I am afflicted and needy.
2 Unilinde, maana mimi ni mwaminifu; Mungu wangu, umuokoe mtumishi wako anayekuamini.
Guard me, for I am loyal: save your servant, who trusts in you.
3 Unihurumie, Bwana, maana ninakulilia wewe mchana kutwa.
Lord, be gracious to me, for you are my God; I cry to you all the day.
4 Umfurahishe mtumishi wako, maana ni kwako, Bwana, ninaomba.
Gladden the heart of your servant; for to you, Lord, I set my hope.
5 Wewe, Bwana, ni mwema, na uko tayari kusamehe, na huonesha huruma kubwa kwa wale wanao kulilia wewe.
For you, Lord, are good and forgiving, rich in love towards all who call on you.
6 Yahwe, sikiliza maombi yangu; sikia sauti ya ombi langu.
Listen, O Lord, to my prayer; attend to my plea for mercy.
7 Katika siku ya shida ninakuita wewe, kwa maana utanijibu.
In the day of my trouble I call on you, with assurance that you will answer me.
8 Katikati ya miungu hakuna wa kufananishwa na wewe, Bwana. Hakuna matendo kama matendo yako.
None of the gods is like you, Lord, nor are any works like yours.
9 Mataifa yote ambayo umeyafanya yatakuja kwako na kusujudu mbele zako, Bwana. nao wataliheshimu jina lako.
All the nations you have made will come and bow down before you, giving glory, O Lord, to your name.
10 Kwa kuwa wewe ni mkuu na utendaye mambo ya ajabu; wewe pekee ndiwe Mungu.
For great are you, and a doer of wonders; you alone are God.
11 Unifundishe njia zako, Yahwe. Kisha nitatembea katika kweli yako. Unifanye kukuheshimu wewe.
Teach me, O Lord, your way, that I may walk in your truth: so my heart shall rejoice in your name.
12 Bwana Mungu wangu, nitakusifu kwa moyo wangu wote; nitalitukuza jina lako milele.
I will give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart, my God, I will honor your name forever.
13 Kwa maana uaminifu wa agano lako ni mkuu kwangu; wewe umeokoa uhai wangu kutoka chini kuzimuni. (Sheol h7585)
For great is your love towards me, from the depths of Sheol you have saved me. (Sheol h7585)
14 Ee Mungu, wenye kiburi wameinuka dhidi yangu. Kundi la watu wenye vurugu wanautafuta uhai wangu. Nao hawakuheshimu wewe.
Haughty men have risen up against me, O God, a band of the violent seeking my life, who think nothing of you.
15 Lakini wewe, Bwana, ni mwenye huruma na neema, hukasiliki haraka, na mwingi katika uaminifu wa agano lako na kweli.
But you are a God of pity and grace, patient and rich in kindness and faithfulness; turn to me with your grace, O Lord.
16 Unigeukie na unihurumie; mpe nguvu zako mtumishi wako; umuokoe mwana wa mjakazi wako.
Grant your strength to your servant, and save the child of your handmaid.
17 Unioneshe ishara ya fadhila zako. Kisha wale wanichukiao wataziona na kuaibishwa kwa sababu yako; Yahwe, umenisaidia na kunifariji.
Show me a sign of your favor, which those who hate me may see with confusion, since you, Lord, are my helper and comforter.
