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 chief musician. A psalm of the sons of Korah; set to 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 we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains should be shaken into the heart of the seas,
3 ngakhale madzi ake atakokoma ndi kuchita thovu, ngakhale mapiri agwedezeke ndi kukokoma kwake.
though its waters roar and rage, and though the mountains tremble with their swelling. (Selah)
4 Kuli mtsinje umene njira zake za madzi zimasangalatsa mzinda wa Mulungu, malo oyera kumene Wammwambamwamba amakhalako.
There is a river whose streams make the city of God happy, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 Mulungu ali mʼkati mwake, iwo sudzagwa; Mulungu adzawuthandiza mmawa.
God is in the middle of her; she will not be moved; God will help her, and he will do so at the dawn of morning.
6 Mitundu ikupokosera, mafumu akugwa; Iye wakweza mawu ake, dziko lapansi likusungunuka.
The nations raged and the kingdoms were shaken; he lifted up his voice, and the earth melted.
7 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ali ndi ife, Mulungu wa Yakobo ndi linga lathu.
Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
8 Bwerani kuti mudzaone ntchito za Yehova, chiwonongeko chimene wachibweretsa pa dziko lapansi.
Come, behold the deeds of Yahweh, the destruction he has caused on earth.
9 Iye amathetsa nkhondo ku malekezero a dziko lapansi; Iye amathyola uta ndi kupindapinda mkondo; amatentha zishango ndi moto.
He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and cuts the spear into pieces; he burns up the shields.
10 Iye akuti, “Khala chete, ndipo dziwa kuti ndine Mulungu; ndidzakwezedwa pakati pa mitundu ya anthu; ine ndidzakwezedwa mʼdziko lapansi.”
Be quiet and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted on the earth.
11 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ali ndi ife, Mulungu wa Yakobo ndi linga lathu.
Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
