Zaburi 121

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

I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

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

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze, yeye akulindaye hatasinzia,

May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

4 hakika, yeye alindaye Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi.

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

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

The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

6 jua halitakudhuru mchana, wala mwezi wakati wa usiku.

The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

7 Bwana atakukinga na madhara yote, atayalinda maisha yako,

The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

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

May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
