Psalms 29

1 You angels in heaven, praise Yahweh! Praise him because he is very glorious and powerful.

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

2 Proclaim that (he/his name) is glorious; bow down before Yahweh in his holy [temple].

Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo, likhothame eNkosini ebuhleni bobungcwele.

3 Yahweh’s voice is heard above the oceans; Yahweh, the glorious God, thunders. His voice thunders over the huge oceans [DOU].

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

4 His voice is powerful and majestic.

Ilizwi leNkosi lilamandla, ilizwi leNkosi lilobukhosi.

5 The sound of Yahweh’s voice breaks great cedar trees, the cedars that grow in Lebanon.

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

6 He causes [the mountains in] Lebanon to jump like calves jump, and causes Hermon [Mountain] to jump like a young bull jumps.

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

7 Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.

Ilizwi leNkosi lidabula amalangabi omlilo.

8 His voice causes the desert to shake; he shakes Kadesh Desert [in the southern part of Judah].

Ilizwi leNkosi lizamazamisa inkangala, iNkosi izamazamisa inkangala yeKadeshi.

9 Yahweh’s voice shakes the huge oak trees and strips the leaves from the trees while the people in the temple shout, “Praise [God]!”

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

10 Yahweh ruled over the flood [that covered the earth]; he is our King who will rule forever.

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

11 Yahweh enables his people to be strong, and he blesses them by causing things to go well for them.

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