Psalms 91
1 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty,
Yeye aishiye katika makazi ya Aliye Juu atakaa katika uvuli wa mwenyezi.
2 He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,”
Nami nitasema kuhusu Yahwe, “Yeye ni kimbilio langu na ngome yangu, Mungu wangu, ambaye niaamini katika yeye.”
3 For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence.
Kwa maana yeye atakuokoa dhidi ya mtego wa mwindaji na dhidi ya pigo liletalo mauti.
4 He covers you over with His pinion, And under His wings you trust, His truth [is] a shield and buckler.
Yeye atakufunika kwa mbawa zake, na chini ya mbawa zake utapata kimbilio. Uaminifu wake ni ngao na ulinzi.
5 You are not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flies by day,
Nawe hautaogopeshwa na vitisho wakati wa usiku, wala mishale ipaayo kwa siku,
6 Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, Of destruction that destroys at noon,
wala pigo lizungukalo gizani, wala ugonjwa ujao wakati wa mchana.
7 One thousand fall at your side, And a myriad at your right hand, [But] it does not come near to you.
Maelfu waweza kuangukia upande wako na makumi elfu mkono wako wa kuume, lakini uovu hauwezi kukupata.
8 But with your eyes you look, And you see the reward of the wicked,
Wewe utatazama tu na kuona hukumu ya waovu.
9 (For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), You made the Most High your habitation.
Kwa kuwa Yahwe ni kimbilio langu! Umfanye Aliye Juu kuwa kimbilio lako pia.
10 Evil does not happen to you, And a plague does not come near your tent,
Hakuna uovu utakao kushinda wewe; mateso hayatakuja karibu na nyumba yako.
11 For He charges His messengers for you, To keep you in all your ways,
Maana yeye atawaelekeza malaika moja kwa moja kukulinda wewe, na kukuwekea ulinzi katika njia zako zote.
12 On the hands they bear you up, Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
Nao watakuinua juu kwa mikono yao ili usiweze kujigonga mguu wako kwenye jiwe.
13 You tread on lion and cobra, You trample young lion and dragon.
Utawaangamiza simba na nyoka chini ya miguu yako; utawakanyaga wana-simba na nyoka.
14 Because he has delighted in Me, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he has known My Name.
Kwa sababu amejitoa kwangu, nitamuokoa. Nitamlinda kwa sababu yeye ni mwaminifu kwangu.
15 He calls Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in distress, I deliver him, and honor him.
Aniitapo, nitamjibu. Katika shida nitakuwa naye; nitampatia ushindi na nitamuheshimu.
16 I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, And I cause him to look on My salvation!
Nitamtosheleza kwa maisha malefu na kumuonesha wokovu wangu.
