Psalms 29

1 A Melody of David. Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty, —Give to Yahweh, [both] glory and strength:

Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpeni Bwana, enyi mashujaa, mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu.

2 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness.

Mpeni Bwana utukufu unaostahili jina lake; mwabuduni Bwana katika uzuri wa utakatifu wake.

3 The voice of Yahweh, is upon the waters, —The GOD of glory, hath thundered, Yahweh, is upon mighty waters;

Sauti ya Bwana iko juu ya maji; Mungu wa utukufu hupiga radi, Bwana hupiga radi juu ya maji makuu.

4 The voice of Yahweh, is with power, The voice of Yahweh, is with majesty;

Sauti ya Bwana ina nguvu; sauti ya Bwana ni tukufu.

5 The voice of Yahweh, is breaking cedars, Now hath Yahweh, broken down, the cedars of Lebanon!

Sauti ya Bwana huvunja mierezi; Bwana huvunja vipande vipande mierezi ya Lebanoni.

6 And hath made them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion, like the bull-calf of wild-oxen;

Hufanya Lebanoni irukaruke kama ndama, Sirioni urukaruke kama mwana nyati.

7 The voice of Yahweh, is cleaving out flames of fire;

Sauti ya Bwana hupiga kwa miali ya umeme wa radi.

8 The voice of Yahweh, bringeth birth-pains upon the wilderness; Yahweh bringeth birth-pains upon the wilderness of Kadesh!

Sauti ya Bwana hutikisa jangwa; Bwana hutikisa Jangwa la Kadeshi.

9 The voice of Yahweh, causeth the gazelles to bring forth, and hath stript forests; and, in his own temple, every one there, is saying, Glory!

Sauti ya Bwana huzalisha ayala, na huuacha msitu wazi. Hekaluni mwake wote wasema, “Utukufu!”

10 Yahweh, at the Flood, was seated, And Yahweh hath taken his seat, as king, unto times age-abiding.

Bwana huketi akiwa ametawazwa juu ya gharika; Bwana ametawazwa kuwa Mfalme milele.

11 Yahweh, will give, strength to his people, —Yahweh, will bless his people with prosperity.

Bwana huwapa watu wake nguvu; Bwana huwabariki watu wake kwa kuwapa amani.
