< Mapisarema 46 >
1 Kumutungamiri wokuimba waVanakomana vaKora. Namaimbirwo earamoti. Rwiyo. Mwari ndiye utiziro hwedu nesimba redu, ndiye mubatsiri anogara aripo panguva yokutambudzika.
For the leader. Of the Korahites, on alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Naizvozvo hatizotyi, kunyange nyika ikashanduka, uye makomo akawira mukatikati megungwa,
So we have no fear, though earth should change, and the hills totter into the heart of the ocean.
3 kunyange mvura yaro ikatinhira uye ikapupuma furo, uye makomo akadengenyeswa namafungu aro. Sera
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 Pane rwizi rwuripo rune hova dzinofadza guta raMwari, nzvimbo tsvene yeWokumusoro-soro.
A river there is, whose streams make glad God’s city, the home the Most High has hallowed.
5 Mwari ari mukati maro, haringawiri pasi; Mwari acharibatsira panguva yemambakwedza.
God is within her: she cannot be shaken. God helps her at the turn of the morning.
6 Ndudzi dzinoita bope, umambo hunoondomoka; anotaura nenzwi guru, nyika yonyongodeka.
Nations roared, kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, earth melted away.
7 Jehovha Wamasimba Ose anesu; Mwari waJakobho ndiye nhare yedu. Sera
On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob.
8 Uyai muone mabasa aJehovha, kuparadza kwaakaita panyika.
Come and see what the Lord has done, working appallingly in the earth.
9 Anoita kuti hondo dzigume kusvikira kumagumo enyika; anovhuna uta uye anovhuna-vhuna mapfumo, anopisa nhoo nomoto.
He stills wars to the ends of the earth – breaking the bow, snapping the spear, burning the chariots in the fire.
10 “Mirai, muzive kuti ndini Mwari; ndichakudzwa pakati pendudzi, ndichasimudzirwa panyika.”
‘Refrain; and know surely that I am God, high over the nations, high over the world.’
11 Jehovha Wamasimba Ose anesu; Mwari waJakobho ndiye nhare yedu. Sera
On our side is the Lord of Hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
