< 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.
Mungu kwetu ni kimbilio la usalama na nguvu, upatikanao tele wakati wa mateso.
2 Therefore we do not fear in the changing of earth, And in the slipping of mountains 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 Roar—troubled are its waters, Mountains shake in its pride. (Selah)
hata kama milima itatetemeka kwa vurugu ya maji. (Selah)
4 A river—its streams make glad the city of God, Your holy place of the dwelling places of the Most High.
Kuna mto, mikondo yake huufanya mji wa Mungu kufurahi, mahali patakatifu pa hema ya Aliye Juu.
5 God [is] in her midst—she is not moved, God helps her at the turn of the morning!
Mungu yuko katikati yake; naye hatasogezwa; Mungu atamsaidia, naye atafanya hivyo asubuhi na mapema.
6 Nations have been troubled, Kingdoms have been moved, He has given forth with His voice—earth melts.
Mataifa yalikasirika na falme zikataharuki; yeye alipaza sauti yake, na nchi ikayeyuka.
7 YHWH of Hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us. (Selah)
Yahwe wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. (Selah)
8 Come, see the works of YHWH, Who has done astonishing things in the earth,
Njoni, mtazame matendo ya Yahwe, uharibifu alioufanya juu ya nchi.
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.
Anaisitisha vita kwenye nchi; yeye anauvunja upinde na kuikata vipande vipande mishale; anazichoma ngao.
10 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth.
Mkae kimya na mjue kuwa mimi ni Mungu; nitainuliwa juu ya nchi.
11 YHWH of hosts [is] with us, The God of Jacob [is] a tower for us! (Selah)
Mungu wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. Serah
