< 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 Musician. For the Sons of Korah, on Alamoth. A Song. God—for us, is a refuge and strength, A help in distresses, soon found.
2 Kwa hiyo hatutaogopa, hata kama dunia ikiondolewa nayo milima ikiangukia moyoni mwa bahari.
For this cause, will we not fear, Though the earth showeth change, Or the mountains slip into the heart of the seas:
3 Hata kama maji yake yatanguruma na kuumuka, milima nayo ikitetemeka kwa mawimbi yake.
The waters thereof roar and foam, The mountains tremble with the swelling thereof (Selah)
4 Kuna mto ambao vijito vyake vinaufurahisha mji wa Mungu, mahali patakatifu ambako Aliye Juu Sana anaishi.
A river! whose channels, shall gladden the city of God, The Most High, hath hallowed his habitation.
5 Mungu yuko katikati yake, hautaanguka, Mungu atausaidia asubuhi na mapema.
God, is in the midst of her, she shall not be shaken, God will help her, by the turnings of the morning.
6 Mataifa yanafanya ghasia, falme zinaanguka, Yeye huinua sauti yake, dunia ikayeyuka.
Nations have roared, Kingdoms have tottered, He hath uttered his voice, Earth melteth.
7 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote yu pamoja nasi, Mungu wa Yakobo ni ngome yetu.
Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
8 Njooni mkaone kazi za Bwana jinsi alivyofanya ukiwa katika nchi.
Come! view the doings of Yahweh, —Who hath set desolations in the earth;
9 Anakomesha vita hata miisho ya dunia, anakata upinde na kuvunjavunja mkuki, anateketeza ngao kwa moto.
Causing wars to cease unto the end of the earth, —The bow, he shivereth, And breaketh in pieces the spear, war-chariots, burneth he up with fire.
10 “Tulieni, mjue ya kwamba mimi ndimi Mungu; nitatukuzwa katikati ya mataifa, nitatukuzwa katika dunia.”
Let be! and know that, I, am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote yu pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni ngome yetu.
Yahweh of hosts, is with us, A high tower for us, is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
