< 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.
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 Kwa hiyo hatutaogopa, hata kama dunia ikiondolewa nayo milima ikiangukia moyoni mwa bahari.
So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
3 Hata kama maji yake yatanguruma na kuumuka, milima nayo ikitetemeka kwa mawimbi yake.
and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
4 Kuna mto ambao vijito vyake vinaufurahisha mji wa Mungu, mahali patakatifu ambako Aliye Juu Sana anaishi.
[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 Mungu yuko katikati yake, hautaanguka, Mungu atausaidia asubuhi na mapema.
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 Mataifa yanafanya ghasia, falme zinaanguka, Yeye huinua sauti yake, dunia ikayeyuka.
[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 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote yu pamoja nasi, Mungu wa Yakobo ni ngome yetu.
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 Njooni mkaone kazi za Bwana jinsi alivyofanya ukiwa katika nchi.
Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
9 Anakomesha vita hata miisho ya dunia, anakata upinde na kuvunjavunja mkuki, anateketeza ngao kwa moto.
He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
10 “Tulieni, mjue ya kwamba mimi ndimi Mungu; nitatukuzwa katikati ya mataifa, nitatukuzwa katika dunia.”
[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 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote yu pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni ngome yetu.
[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.
