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.
For the leader. Of the Korahites, on alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Kwa hiyo hatutaogopa, hata kama dunia ikiondolewa nayo milima ikiangukia moyoni mwa bahari.
So we have no fear, though earth should change, and the hills totter into the heart of the ocean.
3 Hata kama maji yake yatanguruma na kuumuka, milima nayo ikitetemeka kwa mawimbi yake.
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 Kuna mto ambao vijito vyake vinaufurahisha mji wa Mungu, mahali patakatifu ambako Aliye Juu Sana anaishi.
A river there is, whose streams make glad God’s city, the home the Most High has hallowed.
5 Mungu yuko katikati yake, hautaanguka, Mungu atausaidia asubuhi na mapema.
God is within her: she cannot be shaken. God helps her at the turn of the morning.
6 Mataifa yanafanya ghasia, falme zinaanguka, Yeye huinua sauti yake, dunia ikayeyuka.
Nations roared, kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, earth melted away.
7 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote yu pamoja nasi, Mungu wa Yakobo ni ngome yetu.
On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob.
8 Njooni mkaone kazi za Bwana jinsi alivyofanya ukiwa katika nchi.
Come and see what the Lord has done, working appallingly in the earth.
9 Anakomesha vita hata miisho ya dunia, anakata upinde na kuvunjavunja mkuki, anateketeza ngao kwa moto.
He stills wars to the ends of the earth – breaking the bow, snapping the spear, burning the chariots in the fire.
10 “Tulieni, mjue ya kwamba mimi ndimi Mungu; nitatukuzwa katikati ya mataifa, nitatukuzwa katika dunia.”
“Refrain; and know surely that I am God, high over the nations, high over the world.”
11 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote yu pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni ngome yetu.
On our side is the Lord of Hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
