Zaburi 121

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

A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

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

My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

3 Hatauacha mguu wako uteleze; yeye akulindaye hatasinzia.

He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

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

Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

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

Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,

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

By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

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

Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

8 Yahwe atakulinda katika yote ufanyayo sasa na hata milele.

Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
