Zaburi 121

1 Nitayainua macho yangu nitazame milimani. Msaada wangu utatoka wapi?

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

2 Msaada wangu unatoka kwa Yahwe, aliyezifanya mbingu na nchi.

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 Tazama, mlinzi wa Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi kamwe.

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

5 Yahwe ni mlinzi wako; Yahwe ni uvuli mkono wako wa kuume.

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

6 Jua halitakudhuru wakati wa mchana, wala mwezi wakati wa usiku.

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

7 Yahwe atakulinda na madhara yote, na ataulinda uhai wako.

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

8 Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.

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