Psalms 121

1 A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

Thaburi ya Agendi Nĩngũtiira maitho makwa ndore irĩma-inĩ: ũteithio wakwa ũngiuma na kũ?

2 My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

Ũteithio wakwa uumaga kũrĩ Jehova, o we Mũũmbi wa igũrũ na thĩ.

3 Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.

We ndangĩreka kũgũrũ gwaku gũtirũke: ũcio mũmenyereri waku ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩcũnga;

4 Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

ti-itherũ, ũcio mũmenyereri wa Isiraeli ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩcũnga, kana ahĩtwo nĩ toro.

5 The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.

Jehova nĩwe ũkũmenyagĩrĩra: Jehova nĩwe kĩĩruru gĩaku guoko-inĩ gwaku kwa ũrĩo;

6 The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.

mũthenya wee ndũngĩringĩka nĩ riũa, kana ũringĩke nĩ mweri ũtukũ.

7 May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.

Jehova nĩarĩkũgitagĩra kuuma ũũru-inĩ wothe: nĩarĩĩmenyagĩrĩra muoyo waku;

8 The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.

Jehova nĩarĩkũmenyagĩrĩra ũkiumagara na ũgĩcooka, kuuma rĩu nginya tene na tene.
