< Psalms 29 >
1 A Psalm of David. Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;
Ihubo likaDavida. Mupheni uThixo, lina ziphakanyiswa, mupheni uThixo ubukhosi lamandla.
2 Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour.
Mupheni uThixo ubukhosi obufanele ibizo lakhe; mkhonzeni uThixo ekukhazimuleni kobungcwele bakhe.
3 The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth, — Jehovah upon great waters.
Ilizwi likaThixo liyazulazula phezu kwamanzi; uNkulunkulu wenkazimulo uyandindiza, uThixo uyandindiza phezu kwamanzi amanengi.
4 The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.
Ilizwi likaThixo lilamandla; ilizwi likaThixo lilobukhosi.
5 The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon:
Ilizwi likaThixo lephula imisedari; uThixo uyiqamula ibe yizicucu imisedari yaseLebhanoni.
6 And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.
Wenza iLebhanoni itshakale njengethole, iSiriyoni njengeguqa lenyathi.
7 The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.
Ilizwi likaThixo litshaya ngezikhatha zombane.
8 The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
Ilizwi likaThixo liyayizamazamisa inkangala; uThixo uyayizamazamisa iNkangala yaseKhadeshi.
9 The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!
Ilizwi likaThixo liyayitshila imikusu likhwebule izihlahla amagusu asale eze. Njalo ethempelini lakhe bonke bazamemeza bathi, “Inkazimulo!”
10 Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever.
UThixo uhlezi ebukhosini phezu kwesikhukhula; uThixo unguMbusi lanininini.
11 Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
UThixo unika amandla ebantwini bakhe; uThixo ubusisa abantu bakhe ngokuthula.
