Zaburi 121

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

[A Song of Ascents.] I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

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

My help comes from YHWH, who made heaven and earth.

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze; yeye akulindaye hatasinzia.

He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 Tazama, mlinzi wa Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi kamwe.

Look, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

YHWH is your keeper. YHWH is your shade on your right hand.

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

The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

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

YHWH will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul.

8 Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.

YHWH will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore.
