Psalms 24

1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Nkunga Davidi. Ntoto widi wu Yave ayi bibioso bidi mu wawu; nza ayi babo banzinganga muawu.

2 For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

Bila niandi wutunga ntoto va mbata mimbu ayi wukindisa wawu va mbata minlangu.

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the LORD? and who shall stand in His holy place?

Nani wulenda kuma ku mongo wu Yave? Nani wulenda telama va buangu kiandi kinlongo e?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.

Woso mutu widi mioko misukulu ayi ntima wuvedila; woso mutu wunkambu vumuna muelꞌandi kuidi bitumba, Voti wunkambu levanga ndefi mu mambu ma luvunu.

5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Wela tambula lusakumunu luela ba kuidi Yave, ayi ndungunu Nzambi yi Mvulusi andi.

6 Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)

Buawu bobo buididi tsungi yi batu bakuntombanga, yi bawu bantombanga zizi kiaku, a Nzambi yi Yakobi.

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

Luvumbula mintu mieno, beno mielo! Luvumbuka beno mielo mikhulu! Muingi ntinu wu nkembo kakota.

8 'Who is the King of glory?' 'The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.'

Nani ntinu wu nkembo e? Keti Yave, nkua ngolo ayi nkua lulendo! Keti Yave, nkua lulendo mu zimvita!

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

Luvumbula mintu mieno, beno mielo! Luvumbuka beno mielo mikhulu! Muingi ntinu wu nkembo kakota.

10 'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' (Selah)

Nani wowo ntinu beni wu nkembo e? Keti Yave, pfumu yi minkangu mi masodi. Niandi ntinu wu nkembo.
