Amahubo 29

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

Ascribe to Adonai, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Adonai kavod ·weighty glory· and strength.

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

Ascribe to Adonai the kavod ·weighty glory· due to his name. Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship Adonai in holy array.

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

Adonai’s voice is on the waters. The God of kavod ·weighty glory· thunders, even Adonai on many waters.

4 Ilizwi likaThixo lilamandla; ilizwi likaThixo lilobukhosi.

Adonai’s voice is powerful. Adonai’s voice is full of majesty.

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

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

6 Wenza iLebhanoni itshakale njengethole, iSiriyoni njengeguqa lenyathi.

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

7 Ilizwi likaThixo litshaya ngezikhatha zombane.

Adonai’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 Ilizwi likaThixo liyayizamazamisa inkangala; uThixo uyayizamazamisa iNkangala yaseKhadeshi.

Adonai’s voice shakes the wilderness. Adonai shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

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

Adonai’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Kavod ·Weighty glory·!”

10 UThixo uhlezi ebukhosini phezu kwesikhukhula; uThixo unguMbusi lanininini.

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

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

Adonai will give strength to his people. Adonai will bless his people with peace.
