Psalms 29

1 “A psalm of David.” Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye sons of the mighty, ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength.

Inikeni iNkosi, lina madodana abalamandla, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.

2 Ascribe unto the Lord the glory of his name; bow down to the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo, likhothame eNkosini ebuhleni bobungcwele.

3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thundereth, the Lord—upon mighty waters.

Ilizwi leNkosi liphezu kwamanzi; uNkulunkulu wenkazimulo uyaduma; iNkosi iphezu kwamanzi amanengi.

4 The voice of the Lord [resoundeth] with power; the voice of the Lord [resoundeth] with majesty.

Ilizwi leNkosi lilamandla, ilizwi leNkosi lilobukhosi.

5 The voice of the Lord breaketh in pieces the cedars; yea, the Lord shivereth the cedars of Lebanon;

Ilizwi leNkosi lephula imisedari, yebo, iNkosi yephula imisedari yeLebhanoni.

6 And he maketh them skip like a calf; Lebanon and Siryon like young reems.

Yenza yona-ke iqolotshe njengethole, iLebhanoni leSiriyoni njengethole lenyathi.

7 The voice of the Lord heweth out flames of fire.

Ilizwi leNkosi lidabula amalangabi omlilo.

8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

Ilizwi leNkosi lizamazamisa inkangala, iNkosi izamazamisa inkangala yeKadeshi.

9 The voice of the Lord causeth the hinds to start, and maketh bare forests: and in his temple every thing speaketh [of his] glory.

Ilizwi leNkosi lizalisa izimpala, lihlubule amahlathi; lethempelini layo konke kuthi: Udumo.

10 The Lord sat [enthroned] at the flood: and the Lord will sit as King for ever.

UJehova uhlezi phezu kukazamcolo, yebo, uJehova uhlezi eyiNkosi kuze kube nininini.

11 The Lord will give strength unto his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.

INkosi izanika abantu bayo amandla; iNkosi ibusise abantu bayo ngokuthula.
