Psalms 24

1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein.

Nkunga Davidi. Ntoto widi wu Yave ayi bibioso bidi mu wawu; nza ayi babo banzinganga muawu.

2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

Bila niandi wutunga ntoto va mbata mimbu ayi wukindisa wawu va mbata minlangu.

3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place?

Nani wulenda kuma ku mongo wu Yave? Nani wulenda telama va buangu kiandi kinlongo e?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.

Woso mutu widi mioko misukulu ayi ntima wuvedila; woso mutu wunkambu vumuna muelꞌandi kuidi bitumba, Voti wunkambu levanga ndefi mu mambu ma luvunu.

5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.

Wela tambula lusakumunu luela ba kuidi Yave, ayi ndungunu Nzambi yi Mvulusi andi.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob.

Buawu bobo buididi tsungi yi batu bakuntombanga, yi bawu bantombanga zizi kiaku, a Nzambi yi Yakobi.

7 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!

Luvumbula mintu mieno, beno mielo! Luvumbuka beno mielo mikhulu! Muingi ntinu wu nkembo kakota.

8 Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

Nani ntinu wu nkembo e? Keti Yave, nkua ngolo ayi nkua lulendo! Keti Yave, nkua lulendo mu zimvita!

9 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!

Luvumbula mintu mieno, beno mielo! Luvumbuka beno mielo mikhulu! Muingi ntinu wu nkembo kakota.

10 Who is He, this King of Glory? The LORD of Hosts— He is the King of Glory.

Nani wowo ntinu beni wu nkembo e? Keti Yave, pfumu yi minkangu mi masodi. Niandi ntinu wu nkembo.
