< Zaburi 46 >
1 Mungu kwetu ni kimbilio la usalama na nguvu, upatikanao tele wakati wa mateso.
For the music director by the sons of Korah. According to alamoth, a song. God is our protection and our strength; always ready to help when troubles come.
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,
So we will not be afraid though the earth shakes, though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea,
3 hata kama milima itatetemeka kwa vurugu ya maji. (Selah)
though the waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble as the waters surge violently! (Selah)
4 Kuna mto, mikondo yake huufanya mji wa Mungu kufurahi, mahali patakatifu pa hema ya Aliye Juu.
A river flows to bring happiness to those in God's city, the holy place where the Most High lives.
5 Mungu yuko katikati yake; naye hatasogezwa; Mungu atamsaidia, naye atafanya hivyo asubuhi na mapema.
God is in the midst of the city; it will never fall. God protects it as soon as it is light.
6 Mataifa yalikasirika na falme zikataharuki; yeye alipaza sauti yake, na nchi ikayeyuka.
Nations are in turmoil, kingdoms collapse. God raises his voice and the earth melts.
7 Yahwe wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. (Selah)
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. (Selah)
8 Njoni, mtazame matendo ya Yahwe, uharibifu alioufanya juu ya nchi.
Come and see what the Lord has achieved! See the amazing things he has done on the earth!
9 Anaisitisha vita kwenye nchi; yeye anauvunja upinde na kuikata vipande vipande mishale; anazichoma ngao.
He stops wars all over the world. He smashes the bow; he breaks the spear; he sets shields on fire.
10 Mkae kimya na mjue kuwa mimi ni Mungu; nitainuliwa juu ya nchi.
Stop fighting! Recognize I am God! I am the ruler of the nations; I am the ruler of the earth.
11 Mungu wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. Serah
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob protects us. (Selah)
