Psalms 121

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?

Nitayainua macho yangu nitazame milimani. Msaada wangu utatoka wapi?

2 My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,

Msaada wangu unatoka kwa Yahwe, aliyezifanya mbingu na nchi.

3 He does not permit your foot to be moved, He who is preserving you does not slumber.

Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze; yeye akulindaye hatasinzia.

4 Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.

Tazama, mlinzi wa Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi kamwe.

5 YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,

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

6 By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.

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

7 YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.

Yahwe atakulinda na madhara yote, na ataulinda uhai wako.

8 YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!

Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.
