< Psalms 46 >
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu lamandla ethu, uyatholwa elusizo kakhulu ekuhluphekeni.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth changes, and though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas,
Ngenxa yalokhu kasiyikwesaba ekuguqukeni komhlaba, lanxa izintaba zidilikela phakathi kwenlwandle.
3 though the waters of it roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with the swelling of it. (Selah)
Amanzi alo kawahlokome, akhaphazele, izintaba zizamazame ngokukhukhumala kwalo. (Sela)
4 There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.
Kulomfula, izifula zawo zithokozisa umuzi kaNkulunkulu, indawo engcwele yamathabhanekele oPhezukonke.
5 God is in the midst of her. She shall not be moved. God will help her, and that right early.
UNkulunkulu uphakathi kwawo, kawuyikunyikinywa; uNkulunkulu uzawusiza ngovivi lokusa.
6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved, he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
Izizwe ziyaxokozela, imibuso izamazame; wakhupha ilizwi lakhe, umhlaba wancibilika.
7 Jehovah of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
INkosi yamabandla ilathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. (Sela)
8 Come, behold the works of Jehovah, what desolations he has made in the earth.
Wozani libone imisebenzi yeNkosi, incithakalo eyenzileyo emhlabeni.
9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth. He breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in two. He burns the chariots in the fire.
Yenza izimpi ziphele kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba; yephula idandili, iqumaqume umkhonto, itshise izinqola emlilweni.
10 Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.
Thulani, lazi ukuthi mina nginguNkulunkulu, ngizaphakanyiswa phakathi kwezizwe, ngiphakanyiswe emhlabeni.
11 Jehovah of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Selah)
INkosi yamabandla ilathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. (Sela)
