Zaburi 29

1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Mpeni Bwana, enyi mashujaa, mpeni Bwana utukufu na nguvu.

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

2 Mpeni Bwana utukufu unaostahili jina lake; mwabuduni Bwana katika uzuri wa utakatifu wake.

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

3 Sauti ya Bwana iko juu ya maji; Mungu wa utukufu hupiga radi, Bwana hupiga radi juu ya maji makuu.

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

4 Sauti ya Bwana ina nguvu; sauti ya Bwana ni tukufu.

The LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty.

5 Sauti ya Bwana huvunja mierezi; Bwana huvunja vipande vipande mierezi ya Lebanoni.

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

6 Hufanya Lebanoni irukaruke kama ndama, Sirioni urukaruke kama mwana nyati.

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

7 Sauti ya Bwana hupiga kwa miali ya umeme wa radi.

The LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 Sauti ya Bwana hutikisa jangwa; Bwana hutikisa Jangwa la Kadeshi.

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

9 Sauti ya Bwana huzalisha ayala, na huuacha msitu wazi. Hekaluni mwake wote wasema, “Utukufu!”

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

10 Bwana huketi akiwa ametawazwa juu ya gharika; Bwana ametawazwa kuwa Mfalme milele.

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

11 Bwana huwapa watu wake nguvu; Bwana huwabariki watu wake kwa kuwapa amani.

The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.
