Psalms 24

1 A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and all that dwell in it.

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

2 He has founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.

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

3 Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?

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

4 He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

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

5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

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

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Pause)

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

7 Lift up your gates, you princes, and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

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

8 Who is this king of Glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

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

9 Lift up your gates, you princes; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

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

10 Who is this king of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is this king of glory.

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