Psalms 24

1 On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

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

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

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

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

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

4 The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, 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, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

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

7 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter 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 who is 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, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter 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 the King of Glory.

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