Zaburi 91
1 Yeye aishiye katika makazi ya Aliye Juu atakaa katika uvuli wa mwenyezi.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 Nami nitasema kuhusu Yahwe, “Yeye ni kimbilio langu na ngome yangu, Mungu wangu, ambaye niaamini katika yeye.”
I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Kwa maana yeye atakuokoa dhidi ya mtego wa mwindaji na dhidi ya pigo liletalo mauti.
Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.
4 Yeye atakufunika kwa mbawa zake, na chini ya mbawa zake utapata kimbilio. Uaminifu wake ni ngao na ulinzi.
He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.
5 Nawe hautaogopeshwa na vitisho wakati wa usiku, wala mishale ipaayo kwa siku,
You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 wala pigo lizungukalo gizani, wala ugonjwa ujao wakati wa mchana.
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.
7 Maelfu waweza kuangukia upande wako na makumi elfu mkono wako wa kuume, lakini uovu hauwezi kukupata.
Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.
8 Wewe utatazama tu na kuona hukumu ya waovu.
You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
9 Kwa kuwa Yahwe ni kimbilio langu! Umfanye Aliye Juu kuwa kimbilio lako pia.
Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—
10 Hakuna uovu utakao kushinda wewe; mateso hayatakuja karibu na nyumba yako.
no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.
11 Maana yeye atawaelekeza malaika moja kwa moja kukulinda wewe, na kukuwekea ulinzi katika njia zako zote.
For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
12 Nao watakuinua juu kwa mikono yao ili usiweze kujigonga mguu wako kwenye jiwe.
They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 Utawaangamiza simba na nyoka chini ya miguu yako; utawakanyaga wana-simba na nyoka.
You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.
14 Kwa sababu amejitoa kwangu, nitamuokoa. Nitamlinda kwa sababu yeye ni mwaminifu kwangu.
“Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
15 Aniitapo, nitamjibu. Katika shida nitakuwa naye; nitampatia ushindi na nitamuheshimu.
When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.
16 Nitamtosheleza kwa maisha malefu na kumuonesha wokovu wangu.
With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”
