Psalms 24

1 A Psalme of David. The earth is the Lordes, and all that therein is: the worlde and they that dwell therein.

Nchi ni ya Yahwe, na vyote viijazavyo, dunia, na wote wakaao ndani yake.

2 For he hath founded it vpon the seas: and established it vpon the floods.

Kwa kuwa yeye aliianzisha juu ya bahari na kuiimarisha juu ya mito.

3 Who shall ascende into the mountaine of the Lord? and who shall stand in his holy place?

Ni nani atakaye panda mlima wa Yahwe? Ni nani atakaye simama patakatifu pake?

4 Euen he that hath innocent handes, and a pure heart: which hath not lift vp his minde vnto vanitie, nor sworne deceitfully.

Yeye ambaye ana mikono misafi na moyo safi; ambaye hajauinua uongo, na haja apa kiapo ili kudanganya.

5 He shall receiue a blessing from the Lord, and righteousnesse from the God of his saluation.

Yeye atapokea baraka kutoka kwa Yahwe na haki kutoka kwa Mungu wa wokovu wake.

6 This is the generation of them that seeke him, of them that seeke thy face, this is Iaakob. (Selah)

Kizazi cha wale wamtafutao Mungu ni kama hiki, wale ambao wanautafuta uso wa Mungu wa Yakobo.

7 Lift vp your heads ye gates, and be ye lift vp ye euerlasting doores, and the King of glory shall come in.

Inueni vichwa vyenu, ninyi malango; muinuliwe juu, milango ya milango ya kudumu, ili kwamba Mfalme wa utukufu aweze kuingia!

8 Who is this King of glorie? the Lord, strong and mightie, euen the Lord mightie in battell.

Huyu Mfalme wa utukufu ni nani? Yahwe, mwenye nguvu na uweza; Yahwe, mwenye uweza katika vita.

9 Lift vp your heads, ye gates, and lift vp your selues, ye euerlasting doores, and the King of glorie shall come in.

Inueni vichwa vyenu, ninyi malango; muinuliwe juu, milango ya kudumu, ili kwamba Mfalme wa utukufu aweze kuingia!

10 Who is this King of glory? the Lord of hostes, he is the King of glorie. (Selah)

Huyu Mfalme wa utukufu ni nani? Yahwe wa majeshi, yeye ni Mfalme wa utukufu.
