< Psalms 46 >
1 For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Mungu kwetu ni kimbilio la usalama na nguvu, upatikanao tele wakati wa mateso.
2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved into the heart 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 Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. (Selah)
hata kama milima itatetemeka kwa vurugu ya maji. (Selah)
4 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.
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, at the approach of morning.
Mungu yuko katikati yake; naye hatasogezwa; Mungu atamsaidia, naye atafanya hivyo asubuhi na mapema.
6 Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
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 high tower. (Selah)
Yahwe wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. (Selah)
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in the earth.
Njoni, mtazame matendo ya Yahwe, uharibifu alioufanya juu ya nchi.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.
Anaisitisha vita kwenye nchi; yeye anauvunja upinde na kuikata vipande vipande mishale; anazichoma ngao.
10 'Let be, 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 high tower. (Selah)
Mungu wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. Serah
