< Psalms 46 >
1 For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.
Mungu kwetu ni kimbilio la usalama na nguvu, upatikanao tele wakati wa mateso.
2 Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.
Hivyo hatutaogopa, hata kama dunia italazimika kubadilika, hata kama milima italazimika kutetemeka na kuangukia kwenye mtima wa bahari, hata kama maji yatavuma kwa kishindo kikuu,
3 Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)
hata kama milima itatetemeka kwa vurugu ya maji. (Selah)
4 The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
Kuna mto, mikondo yake huufanya mji wa Mungu kufurahi, mahali patakatifu pa hema ya Aliye Juu.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.
Mungu yuko katikati yake; naye hatasogezwa; Mungu atamsaidia, naye atafanya hivyo asubuhi na mapema.
6 The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.
Mataifa yalikasirika na falme zikataharuki; yeye alipaza sauti yake, na nchi ikayeyuka.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. (Pause)
Yahwe wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. (Selah)
8 Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.
Njoni, mtazame matendo ya Yahwe, uharibifu alioufanya juu ya nchi.
9 Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with fire.
Anaisitisha vita kwenye nchi; yeye anauvunja upinde na kuikata vipande vipande mishale; anazichoma ngao.
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
Mkae kimya na mjue kuwa mimi ni Mungu; nitainuliwa juu ya nchi.
11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper.
Mungu wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. Serah
