< Psalms 121 >
1 [A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?
Nitayainua macho yangu nitazame milimani. Msaada wangu utatoka wapi?
2 My help comes from YHWH, who made heaven and earth.
Msaada wangu unatoka kwa Yahwe, aliyezifanya mbingu na nchi.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.
Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze; yeye akulindaye hatasinzia.
4 Look, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
Tazama, mlinzi wa Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi kamwe.
5 YHWH is your keeper. YHWH is your shade on your right hand.
Yahwe ni mlinzi wako; Yahwe ni uvuli mkono wako wa kuume.
6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
Jua halitakudhuru wakati wa mchana, wala mwezi wakati wa usiku.
7 YHWH will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.
Yahwe atakulinda na madhara yote, na ataulinda uhai wako.
8 YHWH will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.
