Zaburi 29

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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