< Psalms 91 >

1 Those who live under the protection of the Most High are kept safe by the Almighty.
Yeye akaaye mahali pa salama pake Yeye Aliye Juu Sana, atadumu katika uvuli wake Mwenyezi.
2 This is what I say about the Lord: “He is the one who defends and protects me. He is my God, and I trust in him.”
Nitasema kumhusu Bwana, “Yeye ndiye kimbilio langu na ngome yangu, Mungu wangu, ambaye ninamtumaini.”
3 For he will save you from hidden traps and deadly diseases.
Hakika yeye ataniokoa na mtego wa mwindaji, na maradhi ya kuambukiza ya kuua.
4 He will hide you under his feathers, and shelter you with his wings. His trustworthiness shields and protects you.
Atakufunika kwa manyoya yake, chini ya mbawa zake utapata kimbilio, uaminifu wake utakuwa ngao na kinga yako.
5 You will not be afraid of terror at night or an arrow that flies in the day,
Hutaogopa vitisho vya usiku, wala mshale urukao mchana,
6 or disease that attacks at night, or catastrophe that falls at noon.
wala maradhi ya kuambukiza yanayonyemelea gizani, wala tauni iharibuyo adhuhuri.
7 A thousand may fall beside you, ten thousand die at your right hand, but you won't be harmed.
Ijapo watu elfu wataangukia kando yako, kumi elfu mkono wako wa kuume, lakini haitakukaribia wewe.
8 You only have to open your eyes and you will see how the wicked are repaid.
Utatazama tu kwa macho yako na kuona adhabu ya waovu.
9 Because you have made the Lord your protection, and the Most High your home,
Kama ukimfanya Aliye Juu Sana kuwa makao yako: naam, Bwana ambaye ni kimbilio langu,
10 nothing evil will happen to you; no plague will come near where you live.
basi hakuna madhara yatakayokupata wewe, hakuna maafa yataikaribia hema yako.
11 For he will command his angels to take care of you in everything you do.
Kwa kuwa atawaagiza malaika zake kwa ajili yako, wakulinde katika njia zako zote.
12 They will hold you up with their hands so you won't trip and fall down.
Mikononi mwao watakuinua, ili usijikwae mguu wako kwenye jiwe.
13 You will trample lions and snakes; you will tread young lions and serpents underfoot.
Utawakanyaga simba na nyoka wakali, simba mkubwa na nyoka utawaponda kwa miguu.
14 I will save anyone who loves me; I will protect anyone who accepts me.
Bwana asema, “Kwa kuwa ananipenda, nitamwokoa; nitamlinda, kwa kuwa analikiri Jina langu.
15 When they call out to me for help, I will answer; when they are in trouble, I will be with them. I will save and honor them.
Ataniita, nami nitamjibu; nitakuwa pamoja naye katika taabu, nitamwokoa na kumheshimu.
16 I will grant them long lives, and show them my salvation.
Kwa siku nyingi nitamshibisha na kumwonyesha wokovu wangu.”
