Psalms 91

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Yeye akaaye mahali pa salama pake Yeye Aliye Juu Sana, atadumu katika uvuli wake Mwenyezi.

2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

Nitasema kumhusu Bwana, “Yeye ndiye kimbilio langu na ngome yangu, Mungu wangu, ambaye ninamtumaini.”

3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

Hakika yeye ataniokoa na mtego wa mwindaji, na maradhi ya kuambukiza ya kuua.

4 He will cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shall thou take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.

Atakufunika kwa manyoya yake, chini ya mbawa zake utapata kimbilio, uaminifu wake utakuwa ngao na kinga yako.

5 Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,

Hutaogopa vitisho vya usiku, wala mshale urukao mchana,

6 for the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

wala maradhi ya kuambukiza yanayonyemelea gizani, wala tauni iharibuyo adhuhuri.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come near thee.

Ijapo watu elfu wataangukia kando yako, kumi elfu mkono wako wa kuume, lakini haitakukaribia wewe.

8 Thou shall only behold with thine eyes, and see the reward of the wicked.

Utatazama tu kwa macho yako na kuona adhabu ya waovu.

9 For thou, O Jehovah, are my refuge! Thou have made the Most High thy habitation.

Kama ukimfanya Aliye Juu Sana kuwa makao yako: naam, Bwana ambaye ni kimbilio langu,

10 There shall no evil befall thee, nor shall any plague come near thy tent,

basi hakuna madhara yatakayokupata wewe, hakuna maafa yataikaribia hema yako.

11 for he will give his agents charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Kwa kuwa atawaagiza malaika zake kwa ajili yako, wakulinde katika njia zako zote.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Mikononi mwao watakuinua, ili usijikwae mguu wako kwenye jiwe.

13 Thou shall tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the serpent thou shall trample under foot.

Utawakanyaga simba na nyoka wakali, simba mkubwa na nyoka utawaponda kwa miguu.

14 Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high because he has known my name.

Bwana asema, “Kwa kuwa ananipenda, nitamwokoa; nitamlinda, kwa kuwa analikiri Jina langu.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

Ataniita, nami nitamjibu; nitakuwa pamoja naye katika taabu, nitamwokoa na kumheshimu.

16 I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.

Kwa siku nyingi nitamshibisha na kumwonyesha wokovu wangu.”
