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.
To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. 'For the Virgins.' — A song. God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in adversities found most surely.
2 Nʼchifukwa chake sitidzaopa ngakhale dziko lapansi lisunthike, ngakhale mapiri agwe pakati pa nyanja,
Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
3 ngakhale madzi ake atakokoma ndi kuchita thovu, ngakhale mapiri agwedezeke ndi kukokoma kwake.
Roar — troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in its pride. (Selah)
4 Kuli mtsinje umene njira zake za madzi zimasangalatsa mzinda wa Mulungu, malo oyera kumene Wammwambamwamba amakhalako.
A river — its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
5 Mulungu ali mʼkati mwake, iwo sudzagwa; Mulungu adzawuthandiza mmawa.
God [is] in her midst — she is not moved, God doth help her at the turn of the morn!
6 Mitundu ikupokosera, mafumu akugwa; Iye wakweza mawu ake, dziko lapansi likusungunuka.
Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth.
7 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ali ndi ife, Mulungu wa Yakobo ndi linga lathu.
Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob. (Selah)
8 Bwerani kuti mudzaone ntchito za Yehova, chiwonongeko chimene wachibweretsa pa dziko lapansi.
Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done astonishing things in the earth,
9 Iye amathetsa nkhondo ku malekezero a dziko lapansi; Iye amathyola uta ndi kupindapinda mkondo; amatentha zishango ndi moto.
Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he doth burn with fire.
10 Iye akuti, “Khala chete, ndipo dziwa kuti ndine Mulungu; ndidzakwezedwa pakati pa mitundu ya anthu; ine ndidzakwezedwa mʼdziko lapansi.”
Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
11 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ali ndi ife, Mulungu wa Yakobo ndi linga lathu.
Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God of Jacob! (Selah)
