< Zaburi 46 >
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Mtindo wa alamothi. Mungu kwetu sisi ni kimbilio na nguvu, msaada utakaoonekana tele wakati wa mateso.
To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah; put to Alamoth. A Song. God is our harbour and our strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Kwa hiyo hatutaogopa, hata kama dunia ikiondolewa nayo milima ikiangukia moyoni mwa bahari.
For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;
3 Hata kama maji yake yatanguruma na kuumuka, milima nayo ikitetemeka kwa mawimbi yake.
Though its waters are sounding and troubled, and though the mountains are shaking with their violent motion. (Selah)
4 Kuna mto ambao vijito vyake vinaufurahisha mji wa Mungu, mahali patakatifu ambako Aliye Juu Sana anaishi.
There is a river whose streams make glad the resting-place of God, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.
5 Mungu yuko katikati yake, hautaanguka, Mungu atausaidia asubuhi na mapema.
God has taken his place in her; she will not be moved: he will come to her help at the dawn of morning.
6 Mataifa yanafanya ghasia, falme zinaanguka, Yeye huinua sauti yake, dunia ikayeyuka.
The nations were angry, the kingdoms were moved; at the sound of his voice the earth became like wax.
7 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote yu pamoja nasi, Mungu wa Yakobo ni ngome yetu.
The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
8 Njooni mkaone kazi za Bwana jinsi alivyofanya ukiwa katika nchi.
Come, see the works of the Lord, the destruction which he has made in the earth.
9 Anakomesha vita hata miisho ya dunia, anakata upinde na kuvunjavunja mkuki, anateketeza ngao kwa moto.
He puts an end to wars over all the earth; by him the bow is broken, and the spear cut in two, and the carriage burned in the fire.
10 “Tulieni, mjue ya kwamba mimi ndimi Mungu; nitatukuzwa katikati ya mataifa, nitatukuzwa katika dunia.”
Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth.
11 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote yu pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni ngome yetu.
The Lord of armies is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. (Selah)
