< Psalms 24 >
1 A psalm of David. The earth is the Lord's, and everything that is in it belongs to him. The world is his, and everyone who lives there.
Thaburi ya Daudi Thĩ nĩ ya Jehova, na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ thĩinĩ wayo, mabũrũri mothe o na arĩa matũũraga kuo;
2 For he is the one who laid its foundations on the seas, setting it in place on the waters.
nĩgũkorwo nĩwe waakire mũthingi wayo igũrũ rĩa maria, na akĩmĩrũmia ĩikare igũrũ rĩa maaĩ.
3 Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?
Nũũ ũngĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Jehova? Nũũ ũngĩrũgama handũ harĩa hake haamũre?
4 Those who have clean hands and pure minds, who don't worship idols, and who don't lie under oath.
Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na moko matheru na akaaga ũũru ngoro, na ũrĩa ngoro yake ĩtahooyaga mũhianano, o na kana akeehĩta na maheeni.
5 They will take with them the blessing of the Lord, vindicated by the God who saves them.
Mũndũ ũcio nĩarĩamũkagĩra kĩrathimo kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, na onagwo atarĩ mũhĩtia nĩ Ngai, Mũhonokia wake.
6 These are the kind of people who may go to the Lord and worship before you, God of Jacob. (Selah)
Ũguo nĩguo rũciaro rwa arĩa mamũrongoragia rũtariĩ, o rũrĩa rũrongoragia ũthiũ waku, Wee Ngai wa Jakubu.
7 Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!
Ambarariai mĩtwe yanyu, inyuĩ ihingo ici, ambararioi inyuĩ mĩrango ĩno ya tene, nĩguo Mũthamaki wa riiri atoonye thĩinĩ.
8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and powerful, mighty in battle.
Mũthamaki ũcio wa riiri nĩwe ũũ? Nĩwe Jehova ũrĩa ũrĩ hinya na nĩ njamba, nĩwe Jehova ũrĩa njamba ita-inĩ.
9 Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!
Ambarariai mĩtwe yanyu, inyuĩ ihingo ici, mĩambarariei inyuĩ mĩrango ĩno ya tene, nĩguo Mũthamaki wa riiri atoonye thĩinĩ.
10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord Almighty, he is the King of glory! (Selah)
Mũthamaki ũcio wa riiri nĩwe ũ? Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe-rĩ, nĩwe Mũthamaki wa riiri.
