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.
