Psalms 24

1 A Psalm. Of David. The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.

Zaburi ya Daudi. Dunia ni mali ya Bwana, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake, ulimwengu, na wote waishio ndani yake,

2 For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

maana aliiwekea misingi yake baharini na kuifanya imara juu ya maji.

3 Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?

Nani awezaye kuupanda mlima wa Bwana? Ni nani awezaye kusimama patakatifu pake?

4 He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

Ni yule mwenye mikono safi na moyo mweupe, yule ambaye hakuinulia sanamu nafsi yake au kuapa kwa kitu cha uongo.

5 He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Huyo atapokea baraka kutoka kwa Bwana, na hukumu ya haki kutoka kwa Mungu Mwokozi wake.

6 This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

Hiki ndicho kizazi cha wale wamtafutao, wale wautafutao uso wako, Ee Mungu wa Yakobo.

7 Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

Inueni vichwa vyenu, enyi malango, inukeni enyi milango ya kale, ili mfalme wa utukufu apate kuingia.

8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.

Ni nani huyu Mfalme wa utukufu? Ni Bwana aliye na nguvu na uweza, ni Bwana aliye hodari katika vita.

9 Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

Inueni vichwa vyenu, enyi malango, viinueni juu enyi milango ya kale, ili Mfalme wa utukufu apate kuingia.

10 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

Ni nani yeye, huyu Mfalme wa utukufu? Ni Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote; yeye ndiye Mfalme wa utukufu.
