Zaburi 121

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

“A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

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

My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze, yeye akulindaye hatasinzia,

He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

4 hakika, yeye alindaye Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi.

Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.

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

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

6 jua halitakudhuru mchana, wala mwezi wakati wa usiku.

By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

7 Bwana atakukinga na madhara yote, atayalinda maisha yako,

The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

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

The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
