Zaburi 46
1 Mungu kwetu ni kimbilio la usalama na nguvu, upatikanao tele wakati wa mateso.
For the choirmaster. Of the sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble.
2 Hivyo hatutaogopa, hata kama dunia italazimika kubadilika, hata kama milima italazimika kutetemeka na kuangukia kwenye mtima wa bahari, hata kama maji yatavuma kwa kishindo kikuu,
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth is transformed and the mountains are toppled into the depths of the seas,
3 hata kama milima itatetemeka kwa vurugu ya maji. (Selah)
though their waters roar and foam and the mountains quake in the surge.
4 Kuna mto, mikondo yake huufanya mji wa Mungu kufurahi, mahali patakatifu pa hema ya Aliye Juu.
There is a river whose streams delight the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 Mungu yuko katikati yake; naye hatasogezwa; Mungu atamsaidia, naye atafanya hivyo asubuhi na mapema.
God is within her; she will not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns.
6 Mataifa yalikasirika na falme zikataharuki; yeye alipaza sauti yake, na nchi ikayeyuka.
Nations rage, kingdoms crumble; the earth melts when He lifts His voice.
7 Yahwe wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. (Selah)
The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Njoni, mtazame matendo ya Yahwe, uharibifu alioufanya juu ya nchi.
Come, see the works of the LORD, who brings devastation upon the earth.
9 Anaisitisha vita kwenye nchi; yeye anauvunja upinde na kuikata vipande vipande mishale; anazichoma ngao.
He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire.
10 Mkae kimya na mjue kuwa mimi ni Mungu; nitainuliwa juu ya nchi.
“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”
11 Mungu wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. Serah
The LORD of Hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
