Zaburi 121

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

A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: from whence shall my help come?

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

My help [cometh] from the LORD, which 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 Tazama, mlinzi wa Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi kamwe.

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

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

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon 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 shall keep thee from all evil; he shall keep thy soul.

8 Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.

The LORD shall keep thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and for evermore.
