Zaburi 121

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Nayainua macho yangu nitazame vilima, msaada wangu utatoka wapi?

A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come?

2 Msaada wangu hutoka kwa Bwana, Muumba wa mbingu na dunia.

My help [cometh] from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze, yeye akulindaye hatasinzia,

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 hakika, yeye alindaye Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Bwana anakulinda, Bwana ni uvuli wako mkono wako wa kuume,

Jehovah is thy keeper: Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 jua halitakudhuru mchana, wala mwezi wakati wa usiku.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.

7 Bwana atakukinga na madhara yote, atayalinda maisha yako,

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul.

8 Bwana atakulinda unapoingia na unapotoka, tangu sasa na hata milele.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth and for evermore.
