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.

Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ensi ya Mukama n’ebigirimu byonna, n’ensi zonna n’abo abazibeeramu.

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

Kubanga yasimba emisingi gyayo mu nnyanja, n’agizimba ku mazzi amangi.

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

Alyambuka ku lusozi lwa Mukama ye afaanana atya? Era wa ngeri ki aliyingira n’ayimirira mu nnyumba ye entukuvu?

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

Oyo alina omutima omulongoofu, nga n’emikono gye mirongoofu; atasinza bakatonda abalala, era atalayirira bwereere.

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

Oyo Mukama anaamuwanga omukisa, n’obutuukirivu okuva eri Katonda ow’obulokozi bwe.

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

Ogwo gwe mulembe gw’abo abakunoonya, Ayi Katonda wa Yakobo.

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

Mweggulewo, mmwe bawankaaki! Muggulwewo, mmwe enzigi ez’edda, Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa ayingire.

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

Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa ye ani? Ye Mukama ow’amaanyi era ow’obuyinza, omuwanguzi mu ntalo.

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

Mweggulewo, mmwe bawankaaki, muggulwewo mmwe enzigi ez’edda! Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa ayingire.

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

Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa oyo ye ani? Mukama Ayinzabyonna; oyo ye Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa.
