Masalimo 24

1 Salimo la Davide. Dziko lapansi ndi la Yehova ndi zonse zimene zili mʼmenemo, dziko ndi onse amene amakhala mʼmenemo;

For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.

2 pakuti Iye ndiye anayika maziko ake pa nyanja ndi kulikhazika pamwamba pa madzi.

For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Ndani angakwere phiri la Yehova? Ndani angathe kuyima pa malo ake opatulika?

Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?

4 Iye amene ali ndi mʼmanja moyera ndi mtima woyera, amene sapereka moyo wake kwa fano kapena kulumbira mwachinyengo.

The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.

5 Iyeyo adzalandira madalitso kwa Yehova ndipo Mulungu mpulumutsi wake adzagamula kuti alibe mlandu.

He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Savior.

6 Umenewo ndiwo mʼbado wa amene amafunafuna Yehova; amene amafunafuna nkhope yanu, Inu Mulungu wa Yakobo. (Sela)

This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.

7 Tukulani mitu yanu inu zipata; tsekukani, inu zitseko zakalekalenu, kuti Mfumu yaulemerero ilowe.

Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

8 Kodi Mfumu yaulemereroyo ndani? Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Yehova ndiye wamphamvu pa nkhondo.

Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle.

9 Tukulani mitu yanu, inu zipata; tsekukani, inu zitseko zakalekalenu, kuti Mfumu yaulemerero ilowe.

Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

10 Kodi Mfumu yaulemereroyo ndani? Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Iye ndiye Mfumu yaulemerero. (Sela)

Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory.
