< Psalms 46 >
1 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. 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 shall be removed, and though the mountains shall be carried into the midst 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] its waters shall roar [and] be disturbed, [though] the mountains shake with the swelling of it. (Selah)
hata kama milima itatetemeka kwa vurugu ya maji. (Selah)
4 [There is] a river, the streams of which 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 midst 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 hath made in the earth.
Njoni, mtazame matendo ya Yahwe, uharibifu alioufanya juu ya nchi.
9 He maketh wars to cease to the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear asunder; he burneth 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
