Zabbuli 29

1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Mutendereze Mukama, mmwe abaana b’ab’amaanyi. Mutendereze Mukama n’ekitiibwa n’amaanyi.

A Psalm of David. Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

2 Mutendereze Mukama n’ekitiibwa ekisaanira erinnya lye; musinze Mukama mu kitiibwa eky’obutukuvu bwe.

Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour.

3 Eddoboozi lya Mukama liwulirwa ku mazzi; Katonda ow’ekitiibwa abwatuka, n’eddoboozi lye ne liwulirwa ku mazzi amangi.

The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth, — Jehovah upon great waters.

4 Eddoboozi lya Mukama ly’amaanyi; eddoboozi lya Mukama lijjudde ekitiibwa.

The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

5 Eddoboozi lya Mukama limenya emivule; Mukama amenyaamenya emivule gya Lebanooni.

The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon:

6 Aleetera Lebanooni okubuukabuuka ng’akayana, ne Siriyooni ng’ennyana y’embogo.

And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.

7 Eddoboozi lya Mukama libwatukira mu kumyansa.

The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.

8 Eddoboozi lya Mukama likankanya eddungu; Mukama akankanya eddungu lya Kadesi.

The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 Eddoboozi lya Mukama linyoolanyoola emivule, n’emiti mu bibira ne gitasigalako makoola. Mu Yeekaalu ye, abantu bonna boogerera waggulu nti, “Ekitiibwa kibe eri Mukama!”

The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!

10 Mukama atuula waggulu w’amataba ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka. Mukama ye Kabaka afuga emirembe gyonna.

Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever.

11 Mukama awa abantu be amaanyi; Mukama awa abantu be emirembe.

Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
