Zaburi 86

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

A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.

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

Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant — who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.

3 Unihurumie, Bwana, maana ninakulilia wewe mchana kutwa.

Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.

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

Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

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

For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

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

Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.

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

In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.

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

There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.

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

All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

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

For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.

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

Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.

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

I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.

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

For Thy kindness [is] great 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 have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,

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

And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

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

Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.

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