Psalms 29

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

Faarfannaa Daawit. Isin jajjabeeyyiin, Waaqayyoof fidaa; ulfinaa fi jabina Waaqayyoof fidaa.

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

Ulfina maqaa isaatiif malu Waaqayyoof kennaa; iddoo qulqullummaa isaatti Waaqayyoon waaqeffadhaa.

3 Yahweh’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.

Sagaleen Waaqayyoo bishaanota irra jira; Waaqni ulfinaa ni qaqawweessaʼa; Waaqayyo bishaanota baayʼee irratti ni qaqawweessaʼa.

4 Yahweh’s voice is powerful. Yahweh’s voice is full of majesty.

Sagaleen Waaqayyoo humna qaba; sagaleen Waaqayyoo surra qabeessa.

5 Yahweh’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

Sagaleen Waaqayyoo birbirsa ni cabsa; Waaqayyo birbirsa Libaanoon ni caccabsa.

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

Inni Libaanoonin akka jabbiitti, Siiriyoonin immoo akka dibicha gafarsaatti ni utaalchisa.

7 Yahweh’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

Sagaleen Waaqayyoo balaqqeessa bakakkaatiin rukuta.

8 Yahweh’s voice shakes the wilderness. Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

Sagaleen Waaqayyoo gammoojjii sochoosa; Waaqayyo Gammoojjii Qaadesh sochoosa.

9 Yahweh’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”

Sagaleen Waaqayyoo qilxuu micciira; bosonas qullaatti hambisa. Hundinuus mana qulqullummaa isaa keessatti, “Ulfina!” jedhee iyya.

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

Waaqayyo lolaa badiisaatiin olitti teessoo isaa irra taaʼa; Waaqayyo Mootii taʼee bara baraan teessoo isaa irra taaʼa.

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

Waaqayyo saba isaatiif jabina kenna; Waaqayyo saba isaa nagaadhaan eebbisa.
