Zaburi 121

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

A Song of degrees. I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help.

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

My help [cometh] from the LORD, 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 shall neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The LORD [is] thy keeper: the LORD [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,

The LORD will preserve thee from all evil: he will preserve thy soul.

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

The LORD will preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for ever.
