Zaburi 29

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

A psalm of David. Honor the Lord, children of God, honor his glory and strength.

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

Honor the Lord for his glorious character, bow in reverence to the Lord in his brilliant holiness.

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

The Lord's voice sounds over the sea. The God of glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the vast ocean.

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

The Lord's voice is powerful; the Lord's voice is majestic;

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

the Lord's voice shatters the cedars, even breaking the cedars of Lebanon.

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

He makes the mountains of Lebanon skip like a calf, and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.

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

The Lord's voice blazes out like lightning flashes.

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

The Lord's voice causes an earthquake in the desert; the desert of Kadesh shakes.

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

The Lord's voice makes the pregnant deer go into labor; it strips bare the forests. In his Temple all the worshipers shout, “Glory!”

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

The Lord sits on his throne above the floodwaters; the Lord is the eternal King.

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

The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses them with peace.
