Masalimo 46

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Ndakatulo ya ana a Kora. Nyimbo ya anamwali. Mulungu ndiye kothawira kwathu ndi mphamvu yathu, thandizo lopezekeratu pa nthawi ya mavuto.

For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Nʼchifukwa chake sitidzaopa ngakhale dziko lapansi lisunthike, ngakhale mapiri agwe pakati pa nyanja,

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;

3 ngakhale madzi ake atakokoma ndi kuchita thovu, ngakhale mapiri agwedezeke ndi kukokoma kwake.

Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. (Selah)

4 Kuli mtsinje umene njira zake za madzi zimasangalatsa mzinda wa Mulungu, malo oyera kumene Wammwambamwamba amakhalako.

There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.

5 Mulungu ali mʼkati mwake, iwo sudzagwa; Mulungu adzawuthandiza mmawa.

God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, at the approach of morning.

6 Mitundu ikupokosera, mafumu akugwa; Iye wakweza mawu ake, dziko lapansi likusungunuka.

Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

7 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ali ndi ife, Mulungu wa Yakobo ndi linga lathu.

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)

8 Bwerani kuti mudzaone ntchito za Yehova, chiwonongeko chimene wachibweretsa pa dziko lapansi.

Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in the earth.

9 Iye amathetsa nkhondo ku malekezero a dziko lapansi; Iye amathyola uta ndi kupindapinda mkondo; amatentha zishango ndi moto.

He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.

10 Iye akuti, “Khala chete, ndipo dziwa kuti ndine Mulungu; ndidzakwezedwa pakati pa mitundu ya anthu; ine ndidzakwezedwa mʼdziko lapansi.”

'Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'

11 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ali ndi ife, Mulungu wa Yakobo ndi linga lathu.

The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
