Psalms 29

1 A psalm of David. Honor the Lord, children of God, honor his glory and strength.

Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpeni Bwana, enyi mashujaa, mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu.

2 Honor the Lord for his glorious character, bow in reverence to the Lord in his brilliant holiness.

Mpeni Bwana utukufu unaostahili jina lake; mwabuduni Bwana katika uzuri wa utakatifu wake.

3 The Lord's voice sounds over the sea. The God of glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the vast ocean.

Sauti ya Bwana iko juu ya maji; Mungu wa utukufu hupiga radi, Bwana hupiga radi juu ya maji makuu.

4 The Lord's voice is powerful; the Lord's voice is majestic;

Sauti ya Bwana ina nguvu; sauti ya Bwana ni tukufu.

5 the Lord's voice shatters the cedars, even breaking the cedars of Lebanon.

Sauti ya Bwana huvunja mierezi; Bwana huvunja vipande vipande mierezi ya Lebanoni.

6 He makes the mountains of Lebanon skip like a calf, and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.

Hufanya Lebanoni irukaruke kama ndama, Sirioni urukaruke kama mwana nyati.

7 The Lord's voice blazes out like lightning flashes.

Sauti ya Bwana hupiga kwa miali ya umeme wa radi.

8 The Lord's voice causes an earthquake in the desert; the desert of Kadesh shakes.

Sauti ya Bwana hutikisa jangwa; Bwana hutikisa Jangwa la Kadeshi.

9 The Lord's voice makes the pregnant deer go into labor; it strips bare the forests. In his Temple all the worshipers shout, “Glory!”

Sauti ya Bwana huzalisha ayala, na huuacha msitu wazi. Hekaluni mwake wote wasema, “Utukufu!”

10 The Lord sits on his throne above the floodwaters; the Lord is the eternal King.

Bwana huketi akiwa ametawazwa juu ya gharika; Bwana ametawazwa kuwa Mfalme milele.

11 The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses them with peace.

Bwana huwapa watu wake nguvu; Bwana huwabariki watu wake kwa kuwapa amani.
