Zaburi 91
1 Yeye aishiye katika makazi ya Aliye Juu atakaa katika uvuli wa mwenyezi.
He who lives in the shelter of the Most High will stay 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 of Yahweh, “He is 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.
For he will rescue you from the snare of the hunter 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 wings, and under his wings you will find refuge. His trustworthiness is a shield and protection.
5 Nawe hautaogopeshwa na vitisho wakati wa usiku, wala mishale ipaayo kwa siku,
You will not be afraid of terror in the night, or of the arrow that flies by day,
6 wala pigo lizungukalo gizani, wala ugonjwa ujao wakati wa mchana.
or of the plague that roams around in the darkness, or of the disease that comes at noontime.
7 Maelfu waweza kuangukia upande wako na makumi elfu mkono wako wa kuume, lakini uovu hauwezi kukupata.
A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not reach you.
8 Wewe utatazama tu na kuona hukumu ya waovu.
You will only observe and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 Kwa kuwa Yahwe ni kimbilio langu! Umfanye Aliye Juu kuwa kimbilio lako pia.
For Yahweh is my refuge! Make the Most High your refuge also.
10 Hakuna uovu utakao kushinda wewe; mateso hayatakuja karibu na nyumba yako.
No evil will overtake you; no affliction will come near your home.
11 Maana yeye atawaelekeza malaika moja kwa moja kukulinda wewe, na kukuwekea ulinzi katika njia zako zote.
For he will direct his angels to protect 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 with their hand so that you will not hit your foot on a stone.
13 Utawaangamiza simba na nyoka chini ya miguu yako; utawakanyaga wana-simba na nyoka.
You will crush lions and adders under your feet; you will trample on young lions and serpents.
14 Kwa sababu amejitoa kwangu, nitamuokoa. Nitamlinda kwa sababu yeye ni mwaminifu kwangu.
Because he is devoted to me, I will rescue him. I will protect him because he is loyal to me.
15 Aniitapo, nitamjibu. Katika shida nitakuwa naye; nitampatia ushindi na nitamuheshimu.
When he calls to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble; I will give him victory and will honor him.
16 Nitamtosheleza kwa maisha malefu na kumuonesha wokovu wangu.
I will satisfy him with long life and show him my salvation.
