Psalms 29

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

Inikeni iNkosi, lina madodana abalamandla, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.

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

Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo, likhothame eNkosini ebuhleni bobungcwele.

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

Ilizwi leNkosi liphezu kwamanzi; uNkulunkulu wenkazimulo uyaduma; iNkosi iphezu kwamanzi amanengi.

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

Ilizwi leNkosi lilamandla, ilizwi leNkosi lilobukhosi.

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

Ilizwi leNkosi lephula imisedari, yebo, iNkosi yephula imisedari yeLebhanoni.

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

Yenza yona-ke iqolotshe njengethole, iLebhanoni leSiriyoni njengethole lenyathi.

7 The Lord's voice blazes out like lightning flashes.

Ilizwi leNkosi lidabula amalangabi omlilo.

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

Ilizwi leNkosi lizamazamisa inkangala, iNkosi izamazamisa inkangala yeKadeshi.

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

Ilizwi leNkosi lizalisa izimpala, lihlubule amahlathi; lethempelini layo konke kuthi: Udumo.

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

UJehova uhlezi phezu kukazamcolo, yebo, uJehova uhlezi eyiNkosi kuze kube nininini.

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

INkosi izanika abantu bayo amandla; iNkosi ibusise abantu bayo ngokuthula.
