Psalms 29

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

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

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

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

5 The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, the LORD 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 LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

Mongongo ya Yawe ebimaka elongo na bakake ya moto.

8 The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

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

9 The LORD’s voice makes the deer calve, 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 The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, the LORD 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 The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.

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