Psalms 29

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. Ascribe to YHWH, you sons of the mighty, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.

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

2 Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the beauty of holiness.

Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo, likhothame eNkosini ebuhleni bobungcwele.

3 The voice of YHWH [is] on the waters, The God of glory has thundered, YHWH [is] on many waters.

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

4 The voice of YHWH [is] with power, The voice of YHWH [is] with majesty,

Ilizwi leNkosi lilamandla, ilizwi leNkosi lilobukhosi.

5 The voice of YHWH [is] shattering cedars, Indeed, YHWH shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

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

6 And He causes them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

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

7 The voice of YHWH is hewing fiery flames,

Ilizwi leNkosi lidabula amalangabi omlilo.

8 The voice of YHWH pains a wilderness, YHWH pains the wilderness of Kadesh.

Ilizwi leNkosi lizamazamisa inkangala, iNkosi izamazamisa inkangala yeKadeshi.

9 The voice of YHWH pains the oaks, And makes bare the forests, And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”

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

10 YHWH has sat on the flood, And YHWH sits [as] king for all time,

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

11 YHWH gives strength to His people, YHWH blesses His people with peace!

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