< Psalms 91 >

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Yeye akaaye mahali pa salama pake Yeye Aliye Juu Sana, atadumu katika uvuli wake Mwenyezi.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.
Nitasema kumhusu Bwana, “Yeye ndiye kimbilio langu na ngome yangu, Mungu wangu, ambaye ninamtumaini.”
3 For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
Hakika yeye ataniokoa na mtego wa mwindaji, na maradhi ya kuambukiza ya kuua.
4 He shall cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shalt thou take refuge: his truth is a shield and a buckler.
Atakufunika kwa manyoya yake, chini ya mbawa zake utapata kimbilio, uaminifu wake utakuwa ngao na kinga yako.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Hutaogopa vitisho vya usiku, wala mshale urukao mchana,
6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
wala maradhi ya kuambukiza yanayonyemelea gizani, wala tauni iharibuyo adhuhuri.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.
Ijapo watu elfu wataangukia kando yako, kumi elfu mkono wako wa kuume, lakini haitakukaribia wewe.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked.
Utatazama tu kwa macho yako na kuona adhabu ya waovu.
9 For thou, O LORD, art my refuge! thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;
Kama ukimfanya Aliye Juu Sana kuwa makao yako: naam, Bwana ambaye ni kimbilio langu,
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.
basi hakuna madhara yatakayokupata wewe, hakuna maafa yataikaribia hema yako.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
Kwa kuwa atawaagiza malaika zake kwa ajili yako, wakulinde katika njia zako zote.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Mikononi mwao watakuinua, ili usijikwae mguu wako kwenye jiwe.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.
Utawakanyaga simba na nyoka wakali, simba mkubwa na nyoka utawaponda kwa miguu.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
Bwana asema, “Kwa kuwa ananipenda, nitamwokoa; nitamlinda, kwa kuwa analikiri Jina langu.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honour him.
Ataniita, nami nitamjibu; nitakuwa pamoja naye katika taabu, nitamwokoa na kumheshimu.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Kwa siku nyingi nitamshibisha na kumwonyesha wokovu wangu.”
