Amahubo 29

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

A PSALM OF DAVID. Ascribe to YHWH, you sons of the mighty, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.

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

Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the beauty of holiness.

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

The voice of YHWH [is] on the waters, The God of glory has thundered, YHWH [is] on many waters.

4 Ilizwi likaThixo lilamandla; ilizwi likaThixo lilobukhosi.

The voice of YHWH [is] with power, The voice of YHWH [is] with majesty,

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

The voice of YHWH [is] shattering cedars, Indeed, YHWH shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6 Wenza iLebhanoni itshakale njengethole, iSiriyoni njengeguqa lenyathi.

And He causes them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

7 Ilizwi likaThixo litshaya ngezikhatha zombane.

The voice of YHWH is hewing fiery flames,

8 Ilizwi likaThixo liyayizamazamisa inkangala; uThixo uyayizamazamisa iNkangala yaseKhadeshi.

The voice of YHWH pains a wilderness, YHWH pains the wilderness of Kadesh.

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

The voice of YHWH pains the oaks, And makes bare the forests, And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”

10 UThixo uhlezi ebukhosini phezu kwesikhukhula; uThixo unguMbusi lanininini.

YHWH has sat on the flood, And YHWH sits [as] king for all time,

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

YHWH gives strength to His people, YHWH blesses His people with peace!
