< Psalms 46 >
1 For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi, ma nga tama a Koraha. He waiata Aramoto. Ko te Atua to tatou piringa, to tatou kaha; he kaiawhina e tino tata ana i nga wa o te he.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,
Na reira kore ake to tatou wehi, ahakoa nekehia te whenua, ahakoa kahakina nga maunga ki waenga moana;
3 though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.
Ahakoa rara, taupatupatu noa ona wai, ahakoa wiri nga maunga i tona huamo. (Hera)
4 There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
He awa tena ko ona manga hei whakahari i te pa o te Atua, i te wahi tapu o nga tapenakara o te Runga Rawa.
5 God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.
Kei waenganui ona te Atua, e kore ia e whakakorikoria: ma te Atua ia e awhina i te putanga ano o te ata.
6 Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.
I nana nga tauiwi, i whakakorikoria nga rangatiratanga; puaki ana tona reo, rewa ana te whenua.
7 The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Kei a tatou a Ihowa o nga mano, ko te Atua o Hakopa to tatou piringa. (Hera)
8 Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.
Haere mai, tirohia nga mahi a Ihowa, nga whakangaromanga i whakaputaina e ia ki te whenua.
9 He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.
E whakamutua ana e ia nga whainga a te pito ra ano o te whenua: whati ana i a ia te kopere, poro pu te tao, tahuna ake e ia te hariata ki te kapura.
10 “Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”
Kia ata noho, a kia matau ko ahau te Atua; e whakanuia ahau i waenganui i nga tauiwi, e whakanuia ahau i te whenua.
11 The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Kei a tatou a Ihowa o nga mano: ko te Atua o Hakopa to tatou piringa. (Hera)
