Psalms 29

1 You angels in heaven, praise Yahweh! Praise him because he is very glorious and powerful.

David ƒe ha. Mitsɔ bubu na Yehowa, O! Mi ŋusẽtɔwo, mitsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe kple ŋusẽ na Yehowa.

2 Proclaim that (he/his name) is glorious; bow down before Yahweh in his holy [temple].

Mitsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe si dze Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ nɛ; misubɔ Yehowa le eƒe kɔkɔenyenye ƒe atsyɔ̃ me.

3 Yahweh’s voice is heard above the oceans; Yahweh, the glorious God, thunders. His voice thunders over the huge oceans [DOU].

Yehowa ƒe gbe ɖi le tsiwo dzi; Ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe Mawu la ɖe gbe, eye Yehowa ɖe gbe le tsi gãwo dzi.

4 His voice is powerful and majestic.

Ŋusẽ le Yehowa ƒe gbe ŋu, eye ŋutikɔkɔe nye Yehowa ƒe gbe.

5 The sound of Yahweh’s voice breaks great cedar trees, the cedars that grow in Lebanon.

Yehowa ƒe gbe ŋe Lebanon ƒe sedatiwo.

6 He causes [the mountains in] Lebanon to jump like calves jump, and causes Hermon [Mountain] to jump like a young bull jumps.

Ena Lebanon ti kpo abe nyivi ene, eye Sirion hã abe tovi ene.

7 Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.

Yehowa ƒe gbe ke dzo mia abe dzikedzo ene.

8 His voice causes the desert to shake; he shakes Kadesh Desert [in the southern part of Judah].

Yehowa ƒe gbe ʋuʋu dzogbenyigba, eye Yehowa ʋuʋu Kades Dzogbenyigba.

9 Yahweh’s voice shakes the huge oak trees and strips the leaves from the trees while the people in the temple shout, “Praise [God]!”

Yehowa na gboti sesẽwo ʋuʋu heyeheye, eye wòna avewo lũ xɛ. Le eƒe gbedoxɔ me la, ame sia ame do ɣli be, “Ŋutikɔkɔe!”

10 Yahweh ruled over the flood [that covered the earth]; he is our King who will rule forever.

Yehowa nɔ eƒe fiazikpui dzi gli le tsiɖɔɖɔ dzi. Woɖo Yehowa fia tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.

11 Yahweh enables his people to be strong, and he blesses them by causing things to go well for them.

Yehowa naa ŋusẽ eƒe dukɔ; eye wòyraa eƒe amewo kple ŋutifafa.
