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 cometh my help!

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

My help, is from Yahweh, who made heavens and earth.

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze, yeye akulindaye hatasinzia,

May he not suffer thy foot, to slip, May thy keeper, not slumber!

4 hakika, yeye alindaye Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi.

Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.

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

Yahweh, is thy keeper, Yahweh, is thy shade, on thy right hand:

6 jua halitakudhuru mchana, wala mwezi wakati wa usiku.

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

7 Bwana atakukinga na madhara yote, atayalinda maisha yako,

Yahweh, will keep thee from all harm, He will keep thy life.

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

Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
