< Thaburi 46 >

1 Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Ngai nĩwe rĩũrĩro riitũ o na hinya witũ, o we ũteithio witũ hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna.
For the leader. Of the Korahites, on alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Tondũ ũcio tũtingĩĩtigĩra, o na thĩ ĩngĩthingitha, na irĩma igwe iria-inĩ,
So we have no fear, though earth should change, and the hills totter into the heart of the ocean.
3 o na maaĩ marĩo mangĩruruma na mahũyũke, nginya irĩma igathingithio nĩ nditi yamo.
Let its waters roar and foam, let the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
4 Nĩ kũrĩ rũũĩ rũrĩa tũrũũĩ twaruo tũkenagia itũũra rĩa Ngai, gĩikaro kĩu kĩamũre kĩa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno.
A river there is, whose streams make glad God’s city, the home the Most High has hallowed.
5 Ngai arĩ kũu thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩu, na rĩtikenyenyeka; Ngai nĩwe ũkaarĩteithia kĩrooko gũgĩkĩa.
God is within her: she cannot be shaken. God helps her at the turn of the morning.
6 Ndũrĩrĩ nĩiraronja, namo mothamaki makenyenya; nake agũũthũka-rĩ, thĩ ĩgatweka.
Nations roared, kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, earth melted away.
7 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe arĩ hamwe na ithuĩ; Ngai wa Jakubu nĩwe kĩirigo giitũ kĩa hinya.
On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob.
8 Ũkai muone ciĩko iria Jehova ekĩte, ũkai muone ũrĩa akirĩtie thĩ ihooru.
Come and see what the Lord has done, working appallingly in the earth.
9 Aniinaga mbaara nginya ituri cia thĩ; oinaga ũta na agathethera itimũ, na agacina ngo na mwaki.
He stills wars to the ends of the earth – breaking the bow, snapping the spear, burning the chariots in the fire.
10 “Hoorerai, na mũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Ngai; nĩngatũũgĩrio ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ndũũgĩrio thĩ yothe.”
“Refrain; and know surely that I am God, high over the nations, high over the world.”
11 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe arĩ hamwe na ithuĩ; Ngai wa Jakubu nĩwe kĩirigo giitũ kĩa hinya.
On our side is the Lord of Hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
