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. By the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. 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 won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are 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 are troubled, 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, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5 Mulungu ali mʼkati mwake, iwo sudzagwa; Mulungu adzawuthandiza mmawa.
God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.
6 Mitundu ikupokosera, mafumu akugwa; Iye wakweza mawu ake, dziko lapansi likusungunuka.
The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved. He lifted his voice and the earth melted.
7 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ali ndi ife, Mulungu wa Yakobo ndi linga lathu.
The LORD of Armies 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, see the LORD’s works, what desolations he has made in the 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 end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear. He burns 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.”
“Be still, 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 Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
