Psalms 29

1 [A Psalm by David.] Ascribe to Jehovah, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Jehovah glory and strength.

Nzembo ya Davidi. Bopesa Yawe, bino ba-anjelu ya Nzambe, bopesa Yawe nkembo mpe makasi.

2 Ascribe to Jehovah the glory due to his name. Worship Jehovah in holy array.

Bopesa Yawe nkembo oyo ekoki na lokumu ya Kombo na Ye; bogumbamela Yawe kati na kongenga ya bosantu na Ye.

3 The voice of Jehovah is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Jehovah on many waters.

Mongongo ya Yawe eyokani na likolo ya mayi, Nzambe ya nkembo azali koleka elongo na lokito, Yawe azali koleka elongo na lokito na likolo ya mayi minene.

4 The voice of Jehovah is powerful. The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

Mongongo ya Yawe ezali na nguya; mongongo ya Yawe ezali na lokumu mingi.

5 The voice of Jehovah breaks the cedars. Yes, Jehovah breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

Mongongo ya Yawe ebukaka banzete ya sedele; Yawe abukaka banzete ya sedele ya Libani.

6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

Apumbwisaka Libani lokola mwana ngombe, apumbwisaka Sirioni lokola mwana ya mpakasa.

7 The voice of Jehovah strikes with flashes of lightning.

Mongongo ya Yawe ebimaka elongo na bakake ya moto.

8 The voice of Jehovah shakes the wilderness. Jehovah shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

Mongongo ya Yawe elengisaka esobe; Yawe alengisaka Esobe ya Kadeshi.

9 The voice of Jehovah makes the large trees tremble, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, "Glory."

Mongongo ya Yawe esalaka ete mboloko ebota, esalaka mpe ete zamba etikala pamba. Kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, nyonso egangaka: « Nkembo! »

10 Jehovah sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Jehovah sits as King forever.

Yawe avandaki na Kiti ya Bokonzi na likolo ya mpela; Yawe avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi lokola Mokonzi mpo na libela.

11 Jehovah will give strength to his people. Jehovah will bless his people with peace.

Yawe apesaka bato na Ye makasi; Yawe apambolaka bato na Ye na nzela ya kimia.
