Psalms 91

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

1 Yeye akaaye mahali pa salama pake Yeye Aliye Juu Sana, atadumu katika uvuli wake Mwenyezi.

2 I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

2 Nitasema kumhusu Bwana, “Yeye ndiye kimbilio langu na ngome yangu, Mungu wangu, ambaye ninamtumaini.”

3 Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.

3 Hakika yeye ataniokoa na mtego wa mwindaji, na maradhi ya kuambukiza ya kuua.

4 He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.

4 Atakufunika kwa manyoya yake, chini ya mbawa zake utapata kimbilio, uaminifu wake utakuwa ngao na kinga yako.

5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,

5 Hutaogopa vitisho vya usiku, wala mshale urukao mchana,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.

6 wala maradhi ya kuambukiza yanayonyemelea gizani, wala tauni iharibuyo adhuhuri.

7 Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.

7 Ijapo watu elfu wataangukia kando yako, kumi elfu mkono wako wa kuume, lakini haitakukaribia wewe.

8 You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.

8 Utatazama tu kwa macho yako na kuona adhabu ya waovu.

9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling—my refuge, the Most High—

9 Kama ukimfanya Aliye Juu Sana kuwa makao yako: naam, Bwana ambaye ni kimbilio langu,

10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.

10 basi hakuna madhara yatakayokupata wewe, hakuna maafa yataikaribia hema yako.

11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

11 Kwa kuwa atawaagiza malaika zake kwa ajili yako, wakulinde katika njia zako zote.

12 They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

12 Mikononi mwao watakuinua, ili usijikwae mguu wako kwenye jiwe.

13 You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.

13 Utawakanyaga simba na nyoka wakali, simba mkubwa na nyoka utawaponda kwa miguu.

14 “Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.

14 Bwana asema, “Kwa kuwa ananipenda, nitamwokoa; nitamlinda, kwa kuwa analikiri Jina langu.

15 When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.

15 Ataniita, nami nitamjibu; nitakuwa pamoja naye katika taabu, nitamwokoa na kumheshimu.

16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”

16 Kwa siku nyingi nitamshibisha na kumwonyesha wokovu wangu.”
