Decrease Cash (credit) and Decrease Account Payable (debit).

This is if you're paying cash which of course is the common way to pay an account payable. An account payable is what you owe another person or company, by paying even a portion of the account it will decrease your liability (what you owe) as well as decreasing your amount of cash on hand.
