< Thaburi 46 >

1 Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Ngai nĩwe rĩũrĩro riitũ o na hinya witũ, o we ũteithio witũ hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna.
God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
2 Tondũ ũcio tũtingĩĩtigĩra, o na thĩ ĩngĩthingitha, na irĩma igwe iria-inĩ,
So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
3 o na maaĩ marĩo mangĩruruma na mahũyũke, nginya irĩma igathingithio nĩ nditi yamo.
and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
4 Nĩ kũrĩ rũũĩ rũrĩa tũrũũĩ twaruo tũkenagia itũũra rĩa Ngai, gĩikaro kĩu kĩamũre kĩa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno.
[Blessings that come from] God are like a river that makes everyone in the city where [we worship] God joyful. It is the city where the temple of God, who is greater than any other god, exists.
5 Ngai arĩ kũu thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩu, na rĩtikenyenyeka; Ngai nĩwe ũkaarĩteithia kĩrooko gũgĩkĩa.
God is in this city, and it will never be destroyed; he will [come to] help [the people in] that city at dawn every day.
6 Ndũrĩrĩ nĩiraronja, namo mothamaki makenyenya; nake agũũthũka-rĩ, thĩ ĩgatweka.
[Sometimes] the [people of many] nations are terrified; kingdoms (are overthrown/cease to exist); God speaks [loudly like thunder], and the earth melts (OR, people everywhere become terrified) [MET].
7 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe arĩ hamwe na ithuĩ; Ngai wa Jakubu nĩwe kĩirigo giitũ kĩa hinya.
But Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
8 Ũkai muone ciĩko iria Jehova ekĩte, ũkai muone ũrĩa akirĩtie thĩ ihooru.
Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
9 Aniinaga mbaara nginya ituri cia thĩ; oinaga ũta na agathethera itimũ, na agacina ngo na mwaki.
He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
10 “Hoorerai, na mũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Ngai; nĩngatũũgĩrio ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ndũũgĩrio thĩ yothe.”
[God says], “Be quiet, and remember that I am God! I will be honored by the people of all nations. I will be honored all over the earth.”
11 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe arĩ hamwe na ithuĩ; Ngai wa Jakubu nĩwe kĩirigo giitũ kĩa hinya.
[So never forget that] Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
