    預かる: keep. The Japanese verb '預かる (あずかる)' means 'to keep' or 'to take care of something temporarily on behalf of someone else'. It is often used when someone entrusts an item, responsibility, or even a person to another for safekeeping. For example: I will keep your luggage「あなたの荷物を預かります」(あなたのにもつをあずかります). She is taking care of my child today「彼女は今日私の子供を預かっています」(かのじょはきょうわたしのこどもをあずかっています). This verb emphasizes the temporary nature of the responsibility and the trust involved in the act of keeping something safe.
