< Psalms 46 >
1 “To the chief musician: by the sons of Korach, upon 'Alamoth, a song.” God is our protection and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Mtindo wa alamothi. Mungu kwetu sisi ni kimbilio na nguvu, msaada utakaoonekana tele wakati wa mateso.
2 Therefore will we not fear, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are moved into the heart of the seas;
Kwa hiyo hatutaogopa, hata kama dunia ikiondolewa nayo milima ikiangukia moyoni mwa bahari.
3 [When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. (Selah)
Hata kama maji yake yatanguruma na kuumuka, milima nayo ikitetemeka kwa mawimbi yake.
4 [There] is a river, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings of the Most High.
Kuna mto ambao vijito vyake vinaufurahisha mji wa Mungu, mahali patakatifu ambako Aliye Juu Sana anaishi.
5 God is in her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.
Mungu yuko katikati yake, hautaanguka, Mungu atausaidia asubuhi na mapema.
6 Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.
Mataifa yanafanya ghasia, falme zinaanguka, Yeye huinua sauti yake, dunia ikayeyuka.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote yu pamoja nasi, Mungu wa Yakobo ni ngome yetu.
8 Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations on the earth.
Njooni mkaone kazi za Bwana jinsi alivyofanya ukiwa katika nchi.
9 He causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons in the fire.
Anakomesha vita hata miisho ya dunia, anakata upinde na kuvunjavunja mkuki, anateketeza ngao kwa moto.
10 Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.
“Tulieni, mjue ya kwamba mimi ndimi Mungu; nitatukuzwa katikati ya mataifa, nitatukuzwa katika dunia.”
11 The Lord of hosts is with us; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote yu pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni ngome yetu.
