< Zaburi 121 >
1 Nitayainua macho yangu nitazame milimani. Msaada wangu utatoka wapi?
A song of ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where will my help come?
2 Msaada wangu unatoka kwa Yahwe, aliyezifanya mbingu na nchi.
My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze; yeye akulindaye hatasinzia.
He will not allow your foot to slip; he who protects you will not slumber.
4 Tazama, mlinzi wa Israeli hatasinzia wala hatalala usingizi kamwe.
See, the guardian of Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
5 Yahwe ni mlinzi wako; Yahwe ni uvuli mkono wako wa kuume.
Yahweh is your guardian; Yahweh is the shade at 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.
Yahweh will protect you from all harm, and he will protect your life.
8 Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.
Yahweh will protect you in all you do now and forevermore.
