Zaburi 121

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?

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

My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze, yeye akulindaye hatasinzia,

He does not permit your foot to be moved, He who is preserving you does not slumber.

4 hakika, yeye alindaye Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi.

Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.

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

YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,

6 jua halitakudhuru mchana, wala mwezi wakati wa usiku.

By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.

7 Bwana atakukinga na madhara yote, atayalinda maisha yako,

YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.

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

YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!
