< Zaburi 46 >
1 Mungu kwetu ni kimbilio la usalama na nguvu, upatikanao tele wakati wa mateso.
Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden. Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
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, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3 hata kama milima itatetemeka kwa vurugu ya maji. (Selah)
Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.
4 Kuna mto, mikondo yake huufanya mji wa Mungu kufurahi, mahali patakatifu pa hema ya Aliye Juu.
The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
5 Mungu yuko katikati yake; naye hatasogezwa; Mungu atamsaidia, naye atafanya hivyo asubuhi na mapema.
God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
6 Mataifa yalikasirika na falme zikataharuki; yeye alipaza sauti yake, na nchi ikayeyuka.
Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
7 Yahwe wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. (Selah)
The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
8 Njoni, mtazame matendo ya Yahwe, uharibifu alioufanya juu ya nchi.
Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,
9 Anaisitisha vita kwenye nchi; yeye anauvunja upinde na kuikata vipande vipande mishale; anazichoma ngao.
Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
10 Mkae kimya na mjue kuwa mimi ni Mungu; nitainuliwa juu ya nchi.
Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
11 Mungu wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. Serah
The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
