< Psalms 29 >
1 A Psalm of David. Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;
Nzembo ya Davidi. Bopesa Yawe, bino ba-anjelu ya Nzambe, bopesa Yawe nkembo mpe makasi.
2 Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour.
Bopesa Yawe nkembo oyo ekoki na lokumu ya Kombo na Ye; bogumbamela Yawe kati na kongenga ya bosantu na Ye.
3 The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth, — Jehovah upon great waters.
Mongongo ya Yawe eyokani na likolo ya mayi, Nzambe ya nkembo azali koleka elongo na lokito, Yawe azali koleka elongo na lokito na likolo ya mayi minene.
4 The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.
Mongongo ya Yawe ezali na nguya; mongongo ya Yawe ezali na lokumu mingi.
5 The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon:
Mongongo ya Yawe ebukaka banzete ya sedele; Yawe abukaka banzete ya sedele ya Libani.
6 And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.
Apumbwisaka Libani lokola mwana ngombe, apumbwisaka Sirioni lokola mwana ya mpakasa.
7 The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.
Mongongo ya Yawe ebimaka elongo na bakake ya moto.
8 The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
Mongongo ya Yawe elengisaka esobe; Yawe alengisaka Esobe ya Kadeshi.
9 The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!
Mongongo ya Yawe esalaka ete mboloko ebota, esalaka mpe ete zamba etikala pamba. Kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, nyonso egangaka: « Nkembo! »
10 Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever.
Yawe avandaki na Kiti ya Bokonzi na likolo ya mpela; Yawe avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi lokola Mokonzi mpo na libela.
11 Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
Yawe apesaka bato na Ye makasi; Yawe apambolaka bato na Ye na nzela ya kimia.
