< Psalms 29 >
1 A psalm of David. Honor the Lord, children of God, honor his glory and strength.
Mpeni sifa Yahwe, enyi wana wa Mungu! Mpeni sifa Yahwe kwa ajili ya utukufu wake na nguvu.
2 Honor the Lord for his glorious character, bow in reverence to the Lord in his brilliant holiness.
Mpeni Yahwe utukufu ambao jina lake linastahili. Mpigieni magoti Yahwe katika mapambo ya utakatifu.
3 The Lord's voice sounds over the sea. The God of glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the vast ocean.
Sauti ya Yahwe imesikika zaidi ya maji; Mungu wa radi ya utukufu, radi yaYahwe i juu ya maji mengi.
4 The Lord's voice is powerful; the Lord's voice is majestic;
Sauti ya Yahwe ina nguvu; sauti ya Yahwe ni kuu.
5 the Lord's voice shatters the cedars, even breaking the cedars of Lebanon.
Sauti ya Yahwe huivunja mierezi; Yahwe huivunja vipande vipande mierezi ya Lebanon.
6 He makes the mountains of Lebanon skip like a calf, and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.
Yeye huifanya Lebanoni kuruka kama ndama wa ng'ombe na Sirioni kama mwana wa nyati.
7 The Lord's voice blazes out like lightning flashes.
Sauti ya Yahwe hutoa miale ya moto.
8 The Lord's voice causes an earthquake in the desert; the desert of Kadesh shakes.
Sauti ya Yahwe hutetemesha Jangwa; Yahwe hutetemesha 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 Yahwe huufanya miti mikubwa kutikisika na huipukutisha misitu. Kila mmoja katika hekalu lake husema, “Utukufu!”
10 The Lord sits on his throne above the floodwaters; the Lord is the eternal King.
Yahwe hukaa kama mfalme juu ya mafuriko; Yahwe hukaa kama mfalme milele.
11 The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses them with peace.
Yahwe huwatia nguvu watu wake; Yahwe huwa bariki watu wake na amani.
