Psalms 29

1 A Psalm by David. Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

Nkunga Davidi. Luvana kuidi Yave, beno batu badi ngolo; Luvana nkembo kuidi Yave ayi zingolo.

2 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Worship Yahweh in holy array.

Luvana nkembo kuidi Yave wufuanikini mu dizina diandi. Lubuongimina Yave mu kiezila ki kinlongo kiandi.

3 Yahweh’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.

Mbembo Yave yidi va mbata minlangu. Nzambi yi nkembo wulembo dumi. Yave wulembo dumi va mbata minlangu minneni.

4 Yahweh’s voice is powerful. Yahweh’s voice is full of majesty.

Mbembo Yave yidi yi lulendo, mbembo Yave yidi yi nzitusu.

5 Yahweh’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

Mbembo Yave yinkelulanga minti mi sedeli; Yave wunkelulanga minti mi sedeli midi mu Libani mu bitini.

6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

Wunzamisanga Libani banga muana wungombi; Silioni banga muana wu phakasa.

7 Yahweh’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

Mbembo Yave yilembo totula minlaki mi mbazu.

8 Yahweh’s voice shakes the wilderness. Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

Mbembo Yave yintitisanga dikanga. Yave wuntitisanga dikanga di Kadesi.

9 Yahweh’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”

Mbembo Yave yimbutisanga minsuma; yeti vambisa minsitu. Mu Nzoꞌandi, bima bioso bilembo yamikina: “nkembo”.

10 Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.

Yave wumvuandanga va kundu ki kipfumu va mbata khuka minlangu; Yave weti vuanda banga ntinu mu zithangu zioso.

11 Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace.

Yave weti vana batu bandi zingolo; Yave weti sakumuna batu bandi mu ndembama.
