Psalms 121

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. I look to the hills—but is that where my help comes from?

Nitayainua macho yangu nitazame milimani. Msaada wangu utatoka wapi?

2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Msaada wangu unatoka kwa Yahwe, aliyezifanya mbingu na nchi.

3 He will not let you fall; he who watches over you won't fall asleep.

Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze; yeye akulindaye hatasinzia.

4 In fact he who watches over you doesn't take naps or fall asleep.

Tazama, mlinzi wa Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi kamwe.

5 The Lord keeps watch over you; the Lord protects you; he stands right beside you.

Yahwe ni mlinzi wako; Yahwe ni uvuli mkono wako wa kuume.

6 The sun won't hurt you during the day, nor the moon at night.

Jua halitakudhuru wakati wa mchana, wala mwezi wakati wa usiku.

7 The Lord will protect you from all kinds of evil; he will keep you safe and sound.

Yahwe atakulinda na madhara yote, na ataulinda uhai wako.

8 The Lord will look after you when you leave, and when you return, now and forever.

Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.
