< 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.
UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu lamandla ethu, uyatholwa elusizo kakhulu ekuhluphekeni.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,
Ngenxa yalokhu kasiyikwesaba ekuguqukeni komhlaba, lanxa izintaba zidilikela phakathi kwenlwandle.
3 though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.
Amanzi alo kawahlokome, akhaphazele, izintaba zizamazame ngokukhukhumala kwalo. (Sela)
4 There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
Kulomfula, izifula zawo zithokozisa umuzi kaNkulunkulu, indawo engcwele yamathabhanekele oPhezukonke.
5 God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.
UNkulunkulu uphakathi kwawo, kawuyikunyikinywa; uNkulunkulu uzawusiza ngovivi lokusa.
6 Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.
Izizwe ziyaxokozela, imibuso izamazame; wakhupha ilizwi lakhe, umhlaba wancibilika.
7 The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
INkosi yamabandla ilathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. (Sela)
8 Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.
Wozani libone imisebenzi yeNkosi, incithakalo eyenzileyo emhlabeni.
9 He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields 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 over the earth.”
Thulani, lazi ukuthi mina nginguNkulunkulu, ngizaphakanyiswa phakathi kwezizwe, ngiphakanyiswe emhlabeni.
11 The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
INkosi yamabandla ilathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakobe uyinqaba yethu. (Sela)
