< Psalms 46 >
1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY SONS OF KORAH. FOR GIRLS’ [VOICES]. A SONG. God [is] our refuge and strength, A most sure help in adversities.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. ElamaDodana kaKhora. Ingoma ngendlela ye-alamothi. UNkulunkulu uyisiphephelo sethu lamandla ethu, usizo oluhlezi lukhona nxa kulohlupho.
2 Therefore we do not fear in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas.
Ngakho kangiyikwesaba, umhlaba ungaze ubhidlike lezintaba ziwele ekujuleni kolwandle,
3 Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains shake in its pride. (Selah)
loba amanzi alo ehlokoma agubhazele izintaba zivevezele ngokuqubuka kwalo.
4 A river—its streams make glad the city of God, Your holy place of the dwelling places of the Most High.
Kukhona umfula ozifudlana zawo zithokozisa idolobho likaNkulunkulu, indawo engcwele okuhlala kuyo oPhezukonke.
5 God [is] in her midst—she is not moved, God helps her at the turn of the morning!
UNkulunkulu ungaphakathi kwalo, kaliyikuwiswa; uNkulunkulu uzalisiza ngovivi lokusa.
6 Nations have been troubled, Kingdoms have been moved, He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.
Izizwe ziyahlokoma, imibuso iyachitheka; uphakamisa ilizwi lakhe umhlaba uncibilike.
7 YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. (Selah)
UThixo uSomandla ulathi; uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe uyinqaba yethu.
8 Come, see the works of YHWH, Who has done astonishing things in the earth,
Wozani libone imisebenzi kaThixo, incithakalo aseyenzile emhlabeni.
9 Causing wars to cease, To the end of the earth, He shatters the bow, And He has cut apart the spear, He burns chariots with fire.
Uyathulisa izimpi kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba; uyalephula idandili avadlaze lomkhonto, utshisa izinqola ngomlilo.
10 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
“Thulani, lazi ukuba mina nginguNkulunkulu; ngizaphakanyiswa phakathi kwezizwe; ngizaphakanyiswa emhlabeni.”
11 YHWH of hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! (Selah)
UThixo uSomandla ulathi, uNkulunkulu kaJakhobe uyinqaba yethu.
