Zaburi 86

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

A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and 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 godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.

3 Unihurumie, Bwana, maana ninakulilia wewe mchana kutwa.

Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto Thee do I cry all the day.

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

Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O 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 pardon, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.

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

Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend unto the voice of my supplications.

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

In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me.

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

There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, and there are no works like Thine.

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 prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; and they 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 alone.

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

Teach me, O LORD, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth; make one my heart to fear Thy name.

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

I will thank 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 mercy toward me; and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest nether-world. (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 up against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my soul, and 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, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

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

O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thy handmaid.

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

Work in my behalf a sign for good; that they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because Thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
