Zaburi 121

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” I lift up mine eyes to the hills: Whence cometh my help?

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

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 stumble; Thy guardian doth not slumber.

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

Behold, the guardian of Israel Doth neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The LORD is thy guardian; The LORD is thy shade at thy right hand.

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

The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.

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

The LORD will preserve thee from all evil; He will preserve thy life.

8 Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.

The LORD will preserve thee, when thou goest out and when thou comest in, From this time forth for ever.
