Psalms 91
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Yeye aishiye katika makazi ya Aliye Juu atakaa katika uvuli wa mwenyezi.
2 I will say of Yhwh, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Nami nitasema kuhusu Yahwe, “Yeye ni kimbilio langu na ngome yangu, Mungu wangu, ambaye niaamini katika yeye.”
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
Kwa maana yeye atakuokoa dhidi ya mtego wa mwindaji na dhidi ya pigo liletalo mauti.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Yeye atakufunika kwa mbawa zake, na chini ya mbawa zake utapata kimbilio. Uaminifu wake ni ngao na ulinzi.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nawe hautaogopeshwa na vitisho wakati wa usiku, wala mishale ipaayo kwa siku,
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
wala pigo lizungukalo gizani, wala ugonjwa ujao wakati wa mchana.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Maelfu waweza kuangukia upande wako na makumi elfu mkono wako wa kuume, lakini uovu hauwezi kukupata.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Wewe utatazama tu na kuona hukumu ya waovu.
9 Because thou hast made Yhwh, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
Kwa kuwa Yahwe ni kimbilio langu! Umfanye Aliye Juu kuwa kimbilio lako pia.
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Hakuna uovu utakao kushinda wewe; mateso hayatakuja karibu na nyumba yako.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Maana yeye atawaelekeza malaika moja kwa moja kukulinda wewe, na kukuwekea ulinzi katika njia zako zote.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Nao watakuinua juu kwa mikono yao ili usiweze kujigonga mguu wako kwenye jiwe.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Utawaangamiza simba na nyoka chini ya miguu yako; utawakanyaga wana-simba na nyoka.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
Kwa sababu amejitoa kwangu, nitamuokoa. Nitamlinda kwa sababu yeye ni mwaminifu kwangu.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
Aniitapo, nitamjibu. Katika shida nitakuwa naye; nitampatia ushindi na nitamuheshimu.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Nitamtosheleza kwa maisha malefu na kumuonesha wokovu wangu.
