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.

Nzembo ya Davidi. Mabele mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ezali ya Yawe. Mokili mpe ezali ya Yawe, elongo na bavandi na yango.

2 For he is the one who laid its foundations on the seas, setting it in place on the waters.

Pamba te ezali Yawe nde atia yango na likolo ya bibale minene mpe apikaki yango na likolo ya miluka.

3 Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?

Nani akokoka komata ngomba ya Yawe? Nani akokoka kotelema kati na Esika na Ye ya bule?

4 Those who have clean hands and pure minds, who don't worship idols, and who don't lie under oath.

Ezali moto oyo azali maboko pembe mpe motema peto, oyo atiaka elikya te na banzambe ya bikeko mpe alapaka ndayi ya lokuta te.

5 They will take with them the blessing of the Lord, vindicated by the God who saves them.

Yawe akopambola ye; mpe Nzambe, Mobikisi na ye, akokomisa ye sembo.

6 These are the kind of people who may go to the Lord and worship before you, God of Jacob. (Selah)

Ndenge wana nde ezali, ekeke ya bato oyo bakangamaka na Yo, ba-oyo balukaka elongi na Yo, Nzambe ya Jakobi.

7 Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!

Bino bikuke, botombola mitondo na bino! Bino bikuke ya kala, bomitombola! Tika ete Mokonzi ya nkembo akota!

8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and powerful, mighty in battle.

Nani azali Mokonzi yango ya nkembo? Ezali Yawe, Elombe ya nguya; Yawe, Elombe ya bitumba.

9 Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!

Bino bikuke, botombola mitondo na bino! Bino bikuke ya kala, bomitombola! Tika ete Mokonzi ya nkembo akota!

10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord Almighty, he is the King of glory! (Selah)

Nani azali Mokonzi yango ya nkembo? Ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde azali Mokonzi ya nkembo!
