Masalimo 121

1 Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndikweza maso anga ku mapiri; kodi thandizo langa limachokera kuti?

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?

2 Thandizo langa limachokera kwa Yehova, wolenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi.

My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,

3 Sadzalola kuti phazi lako literereke; Iye amene amakusunga sadzawodzera.

He does not permit your foot to be moved, He who is preserving you does not slumber.

4 Taonani, Iye amene amasunga Israeli sadzawodzera kapena kugona.

Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.

5 Yehova ndiye amene amakusunga; Yehova ndiye mthunzi wako ku dzanja lako lamanja.

YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,

6 Dzuwa silidzakupweteka nthawi ya masana, kapena mwezi nthawi ya usiku.

By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.

7 Yehova adzakuteteza ku zoyipa zonse; adzasunga moyo wako.

YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.

8 Yehova adzayangʼanira kutuluka kwako ndi kulowa kwako; kuyambira tsopano mpaka muyaya.

YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!
