Yahwe mbakilili wedu
1 Ndomilidzila mesho angu ku matombo.
Apa bhatsho yangu inowodwa ngayi?
2 Bhatsho yangu inodwa kuna Yahwe,
ibo bakathama kudzimu ne shango.
3 Abatowoletja gumbo lilo likatedzemuka,
ibo bakakutjengeta aabatowotshumwayila.
4 Ngelebeswa, ibo bakatjengeta Iziraela,
abangatshumwayile naiko ku izela dumbu.
5 Yahwe ndibo ntjengeti uwo,
Yahwe ndibo ntutshi uwo ku luboko gugo gwe luji.
6 Zhuba alingakuphobole masikati,
kene naiwo mwedzi busiku.
7 Yahwe banowokutjengeta mu mbipo yose,
banowotjengeta butjilo gugo.
8 Yahwe banowotjengeta
kubhuda kuko ne swika kuko
kudwa ngwenu kunoti nge kusingapele kose.
The Lord Our Protector
1 I look to the mountains;
where will my help come from?
2 My help will come from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let you fall;
your protector is always awake.
4 The protector of Israel
never dozes or sleeps.
5 The Lord will guard you;
he is by your side to protect you.
6 The sun will not hurt you during the day,
nor the moon during the night.
7 The Lord will protect you from all danger;
he will keep you safe.
8 He will protect you as you come and go
now and forever.
