Psalms 29

1 A Psalm by David. Ascribe to the LORD, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

Nkunga Davidi. Luvana kuidi Yave, beno batu badi ngolo; Luvana nkembo kuidi Yave ayi zingolo.

2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Worship the LORD in holy array.

Luvana nkembo kuidi Yave wufuanikini mu dizina diandi. Lubuongimina Yave mu kiezila ki kinlongo kiandi.

3 The LORD’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters.

Mbembo Yave yidi va mbata minlangu. Nzambi yi nkembo wulembo dumi. Yave wulembo dumi va mbata minlangu minneni.

4 The LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty.

Mbembo Yave yidi yi lulendo, mbembo Yave yidi yi nzitusu.

5 The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

Mbembo Yave yinkelulanga minti mi sedeli; Yave wunkelulanga minti mi sedeli midi mu Libani mu bitini.

6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

Wunzamisanga Libani banga muana wungombi; Silioni banga muana wu phakasa.

7 The LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

Mbembo Yave yilembo totula minlaki mi mbazu.

8 The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

Mbembo Yave yintitisanga dikanga. Yave wuntitisanga dikanga di Kadesi.

9 The LORD’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”

Mbembo Yave yimbutisanga minsuma; yeti vambisa minsitu. Mu Nzoꞌandi, bima bioso bilembo yamikina: “nkembo”.

10 The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.

Yave wumvuandanga va kundu ki kipfumu va mbata khuka minlangu; Yave weti vuanda banga ntinu mu zithangu zioso.

11 The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.

Yave weti vana batu bandi zingolo; Yave weti sakumuna batu bandi mu ndembama.
