Psalms 91
1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,
Yeye akaaye mahali pa salama pake Yeye Aliye Juu Sana, atadumu katika uvuli wake Mwenyezi.
2 He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”
Nitasema kumhusu Bwana, “Yeye ndiye kimbilio langu na ngome yangu, Mungu wangu, ambaye ninamtumaini.”
3 For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
Hakika yeye ataniokoa na mtego wa mwindaji, na maradhi ya kuambukiza ya kuua.
4 He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.
Atakufunika kwa manyoya yake, chini ya mbawa zake utapata kimbilio, uaminifu wake utakuwa ngao na kinga yako.
5 You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,
Hutaogopa vitisho vya usiku, wala mshale urukao mchana,
6 Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,
wala maradhi ya kuambukiza yanayonyemelea gizani, wala tauni iharibuyo adhuhuri.
7 One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.
Ijapo watu elfu wataangukia kando yako, kumi elfu mkono wako wa kuume, lakini haitakukaribia wewe.
8 But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,
Utatazama tu kwa macho yako na kuona adhabu ya waovu.
9 (For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.
Kama ukimfanya Aliye Juu Sana kuwa makao yako: naam, Bwana ambaye ni kimbilio langu,
10 Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,
basi hakuna madhara yatakayokupata wewe, hakuna maafa yataikaribia hema yako.
11 For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,
Kwa kuwa atawaagiza malaika zake kwa ajili yako, wakulinde katika njia zako zote.
12 On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
Mikononi mwao watakuinua, ili usijikwae mguu wako kwenye jiwe.
13 You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.
Utawakanyaga simba na nyoka wakali, simba mkubwa na nyoka utawaponda kwa miguu.
14 Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.
Bwana asema, “Kwa kuwa ananipenda, nitamwokoa; nitamlinda, kwa kuwa analikiri Jina langu.
15 He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.
Ataniita, nami nitamjibu; nitakuwa pamoja naye katika taabu, nitamwokoa na kumheshimu.
16 I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
Kwa siku nyingi nitamshibisha na kumwonyesha wokovu wangu.”
