Zaburi 46
1 Mungu kwetu ni kimbilio la usalama na nguvu, upatikanao tele wakati wa mateso.
For the leader. Of the Korahites, on alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in 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,
So we have no fear, though earth should change, and the hills totter into the heart of the ocean.
3 hata kama milima itatetemeka kwa vurugu ya maji. (Selah)
Let its waters roar and foam, let the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
4 Kuna mto, mikondo yake huufanya mji wa Mungu kufurahi, mahali patakatifu pa hema ya Aliye Juu.
A river there is, whose streams make glad God’s city, the home the Most High has hallowed.
5 Mungu yuko katikati yake; naye hatasogezwa; Mungu atamsaidia, naye atafanya hivyo asubuhi na mapema.
God is within her: she cannot be shaken. God helps her at the turn of the morning.
6 Mataifa yalikasirika na falme zikataharuki; yeye alipaza sauti yake, na nchi ikayeyuka.
Nations roared, kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, earth melted away.
7 Yahwe wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. (Selah)
On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob.
8 Njoni, mtazame matendo ya Yahwe, uharibifu alioufanya juu ya nchi.
Come and see what the Lord has done, working appallingly in the earth.
9 Anaisitisha vita kwenye nchi; yeye anauvunja upinde na kuikata vipande vipande mishale; anazichoma ngao.
He stills wars to the ends of the earth – breaking the bow, snapping the spear, burning the chariots in the fire.
10 Mkae kimya na mjue kuwa mimi ni Mungu; nitainuliwa juu ya nchi.
‘Refrain; and know surely that I am God, high over the nations, high over the world.’
11 Mungu wa majeshi yuko pamoja nasi; Mungu wa Yakobo ni kimbilio letu la usalama. Serah
On our side is the Lord of Hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
