< Psalms 46 >
1 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 not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the middle of the sea;
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 be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Selah)
hata kama milima itatetemeka kwa vurugu ya maji. (Selah)
4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles 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 middle of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
Mungu yuko katikati yake; naye hatasogezwa; Mungu atamsaidia, naye atafanya hivyo asubuhi na mapema.
6 The heathen raged, the 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 refuge. (Selah)
Yahwe wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. (Selah)
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he has made in the earth.
Njoni, mtazame matendo ya Yahwe, uharibifu alioufanya juu ya nchi.
9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in sunder; he burns the chariot in the 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 heathen, 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 refuge. (Selah)
Mungu wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. Serah
