Zaburi 29

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

A psalm of David. Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and power

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

Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bow to 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 peals on the waters. The God of glory has thundered. He peals o’er the mighty waters.

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

The Lord’s voice sounds with strength, the Lord’s voice sounds with majesty.

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

The Lord’s voice breaks the cedars, he breaks the cedars of Lebanon,

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

making Lebanon dance like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.

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

The Lord’s voice hews out flames of fire.

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

The Lord’s voice rends the desert, he rends the desert of Kadesh.

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

The Lord’s voice whirls the oaks, and strips the forests bare; and all in his temple say “Glory.”

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

The Lord was king at the flood, the Lord sits throned forever.

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

The Lord gives strength to his people, he blesses his people with peace.
