Psalms 46
1 For the music director by the sons of Korah. According to alamoth, a song. God is our protection and our strength; always ready to help when troubles come.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElamaDodana kaKhora. Ingoma ngendlela ye-alamothi. UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu lamandla ethu, usizo oluhlezi lukhona nxa kulohlupho.
2 So we will not be afraid though the earth shakes, though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea,
Ngakho kangiyikwesaba, umhlaba ungaze ubhidlike lezintaba ziwele ekujuleni kolwandle,
3 though the waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble as the waters surge violently! (Selah)
loba amanzi alo ehlokoma agubhazele izintaba zivevezele ngokuqubuka kwalo.
4 A river flows to bring happiness to those in God's city, the holy place where the Most High lives.
Kukhona umfula ozifudlana zawo zithokozisa idolobho likaNkulunkulu, indawo engcwele okuhlala kuyo oPhezukonke.
5 God is in the midst of the city; it will never fall. God protects it as soon as it is light.
UNkulunkulu ungaphakathi kwalo, kaliyikuwiswa; uNkulunkulu uzalisiza ngovivi lokusa.
6 Nations are in turmoil, kingdoms collapse. God raises his voice and the earth melts.
Izizwe ziyahlokoma, imibuso iyachitheka; uphakamisa ilizwi lakhe umhlaba uncibilike.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. (Selah)
UThixo uSomandla ulathi; uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe uyinqaba yethu.
8 Come and see what the Lord has achieved! See the amazing things he has done on the earth!
Wozani libone imisebenzi kaThixo, incithakalo aseyenzile emhlabeni.
9 He stops wars all over the world. He smashes the bow; he breaks the spear; he sets shields on fire.
Uyathulisa izimpi kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba; uyalephula idandili avadlaze lomkhonto, utshisa izinqola ngomlilo.
10 Stop fighting! Recognize I am God! I am the ruler of the nations; I am the ruler of the earth.
“Thulani, lazi ukuba mina nginguNkulunkulu; ngizaphakanyiswa phakathi kwezizwe; ngizaphakanyiswa emhlabeni.”
11 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. (Selah)
UThixo uSomandla ulathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe uyinqaba yethu.
