Psalms 29

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

Nkunga Davidi. Luvana kuidi Yave, beno batu badi ngolo; Luvana nkembo kuidi Yave ayi zingolo.

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

Luvana nkembo kuidi Yave wufuanikini mu dizina diandi. Lubuongimina Yave mu kiezila ki kinlongo kiandi.

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

Mbembo Yave yidi va mbata minlangu. Nzambi yi nkembo wulembo dumi. Yave wulembo dumi va mbata minlangu minneni.

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

Mbembo Yave yidi yi lulendo, mbembo Yave yidi yi nzitusu.

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

Mbembo Yave yinkelulanga minti mi sedeli; Yave wunkelulanga minti mi sedeli midi mu Libani mu bitini.

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

Wunzamisanga Libani banga muana wungombi; Silioni banga muana wu phakasa.

7 The voice of Jehovah strikes with flashes of lightning.

Mbembo Yave yilembo totula minlaki mi mbazu.

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

Mbembo Yave yintitisanga dikanga. Yave wuntitisanga dikanga di Kadesi.

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

Mbembo Yave yimbutisanga minsuma; yeti vambisa minsitu. Mu Nzoꞌandi, bima bioso bilembo yamikina: “nkembo”.

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

Yave wumvuandanga va kundu ki kipfumu va mbata khuka minlangu; Yave weti vuanda banga ntinu mu zithangu zioso.

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

Yave weti vana batu bandi zingolo; Yave weti sakumuna batu bandi mu ndembama.
