Masalimo 29

1 Salimo la Davide. Perekani kwa Yehova, inu anthu amphamvu, perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero ndi mphamvu.

A psalm of David. Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of God, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!

2 Perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero woyenera dzina lake, pembedzani Yehova mwa kukongola kwa chiyero chake.

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory his name deserves. Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness!

3 Liwu la Yehova lili pamwamba pa madzi; Mulungu waulemerero abangula, Yehova abangula pamwamba pa madzi amphamvu.

The voice of Yahweh is heard over the waters; the God of glory thunders, Yahweh thunders over many waters.

4 Liwu la Yehova ndi lamphamvu; liwu la Yehova ndi laulemerero.

The voice of Yahweh is powerful; the voice of Yahweh is majestic.

5 Liwu la Yehova limathyola mikungudza; Yehova amathyolathyola mikungudza ya ku Lebanoni.

The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars; Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 Iye amachititsa Lebanoni kulumphalumpha ngati mwana wangʼombe, Siriyoni ngati mwana wa njati:

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf and Sirion like a young ox.

7 Liwu la Yehova limakantha ngati kungʼanima kwa mphenzi.

The voice of Yahweh sends out flames of fire.

8 Liwu la Yehova limagwedeza chipululu; Yehova amagwedeza chipululu cha Kadesi.

The voice of Yahweh shakes the wilderness; Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 Liwu la Yehova limapindapinda mibawa ndi kuyeretsa nkhalango. Ndipo mʼNyumba mwake onse amafuwula kuti, “Ulemerero!”

The voice of Yahweh causes the oaks to twist and strips the forests bare. Everyone in his temple says, “Glory!”

10 Yehova amakhala pamwamba pa madzi osefukira, Yehova ndiye mfumu kwamuyaya.

Yahweh sits as king over the flood; Yahweh sits as king forever.

11 Yehova amapereka mphamvu kwa anthu ake; Yehova amadalitsa anthu ake ndi mtendere.

Yahweh gives strength to his people; Yahweh blesses his people with peace.
