Psalms 29

1 A psalm of David. Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of God, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!

Ihubo likaDavida. Mupheni uThixo, lina ziphakanyiswa, mupheni uThixo ubukhosi lamandla.

2 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory his name deserves. Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness!

Mupheni uThixo ubukhosi obufanele ibizo lakhe; mkhonzeni uThixo ekukhazimuleni kobungcwele bakhe.

3 The voice of Yahweh is heard over the waters; the God of glory thunders, Yahweh thunders over many waters.

Ilizwi likaThixo liyazulazula phezu kwamanzi; uNkulunkulu wenkazimulo uyandindiza, uThixo uyandindiza phezu kwamanzi amanengi.

4 The voice of Yahweh is powerful; the voice of Yahweh is majestic.

Ilizwi likaThixo lilamandla; ilizwi likaThixo lilobukhosi.

5 The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars; Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

Ilizwi likaThixo lephula imisedari; uThixo uyiqamula ibe yizicucu imisedari yaseLebhanoni.

6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf and Sirion like a young ox.

Wenza iLebhanoni itshakale njengethole, iSiriyoni njengeguqa lenyathi.

7 The voice of Yahweh sends out flames of fire.

Ilizwi likaThixo litshaya ngezikhatha zombane.

8 The voice of Yahweh shakes the wilderness; Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

Ilizwi likaThixo liyayizamazamisa inkangala; uThixo uyayizamazamisa iNkangala yaseKhadeshi.

9 The voice of Yahweh causes the oaks to twist and strips the forests bare. Everyone in his temple says, “Glory!”

Ilizwi likaThixo liyayitshila imikusu likhwebule izihlahla amagusu asale eze. Njalo ethempelini lakhe bonke bazamemeza bathi, “Inkazimulo!”

10 Yahweh sits as king over the flood; Yahweh sits as king forever.

UThixo uhlezi ebukhosini phezu kwesikhukhula; uThixo unguMbusi lanininini.

11 Yahweh gives strength to his people; Yahweh blesses his people with peace.

UThixo unika amandla ebantwini bakhe; uThixo ubusisa abantu bakhe ngokuthula.
