< Zaburi 46 >
1 Mungu kwetu ni kimbilio la usalama na nguvu, upatikanao tele wakati wa mateso.
“To the chief musician: by the sons of Korach, upon 'Alamoth, a song.” God is our protection and strength, a help in distresses, very readily found.
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, even when the earth is transformed, and when mountains are moved into the heart of the seas;
3 hata kama milima itatetemeka kwa vurugu ya maji. (Selah)
[When] the waters thereof roar and foam, when mountains quake before his majesty. (Selah)
4 Kuna mto, mikondo yake huufanya mji wa Mungu kufurahi, mahali patakatifu pa hema ya Aliye Juu.
[There] is a river, its rivulets cause to rejoice the city of God, the sanctuary of the dwellings of the Most High.
5 Mungu yuko katikati yake; naye hatasogezwa; Mungu atamsaidia, naye atafanya hivyo asubuhi na mapema.
God is in her midst; she shall not be moved: God will ever help her, at the dawning of [her] morning.
6 Mataifa yalikasirika na falme zikataharuki; yeye alipaza sauti yake, na nchi ikayeyuka.
Nations rage, kingdoms are moved: he letteth his voice be heard, the earth melteth away.
7 Yahwe wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. (Selah)
The Lord of hosts is with us; a defense unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
8 Njoni, mtazame matendo ya Yahwe, uharibifu alioufanya juu ya nchi.
Come, look at the deeds of the Lord, who hath made desolations on the earth.
9 Anaisitisha vita kwenye nchi; yeye anauvunja upinde na kuikata vipande vipande mishale; anazichoma ngao.
He causeth wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth wagons in the fire.
10 Mkae kimya na mjue kuwa mimi ni Mungu; nitainuliwa juu ya nchi.
Leave off, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on 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; a defence unto us is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
