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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory 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 powerful, mighty in battle.

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

9 Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory 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 Almighty, he is the King of glory! (Selah)

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