Psalms 29

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

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

2 Ascribe to YHWH the glory due to his name. Worship YHWH 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 YHWH is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even YHWH 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 YHWH is powerful. The voice of YHWH is full of majesty.

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

5 The voice of YHWH breaks the cedars. Yes, YHWH 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 YHWH strikes with flashes of lightning.

Mongongo ya Yawe ebimaka elongo na bakake ya moto.

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

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

9 The voice of YHWH 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 YHWH sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, YHWH 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 YHWH will give strength to his people. YHWH will bless his people with peace.

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