< Zaburi 46 >
1 Mungu kwetu ni kimbilio la usalama na nguvu, upatikanao tele wakati wa mateso.
For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things. God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.
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 will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.
3 hata kama milima itatetemeka kwa vurugu ya maji. (Selah)
Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. (Pause)
4 Kuna mto, mikondo yake huufanya mji wa Mungu kufurahi, mahali patakatifu pa hema ya Aliye Juu.
The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.
5 Mungu yuko katikati yake; naye hatasogezwa; Mungu atamsaidia, naye atafanya hivyo asubuhi na mapema.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.
6 Mataifa yalikasirika na falme zikataharuki; yeye alipaza sauti yake, na nchi ikayeyuka.
The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.
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 helper. (Pause)
8 Njoni, mtazame matendo ya Yahwe, uharibifu alioufanya juu ya nchi.
Come, and behold the works of the Lord, what wonders he has achieved on the earth.
9 Anaisitisha vita kwenye nchi; yeye anauvunja upinde na kuikata vipande vipande mishale; anazichoma ngao.
Putting an end to wars as for the ends of the earth; he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon, and burn the bucklers with 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 in 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 helper.
