Psalms 24

1 The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

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

2 For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

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

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

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

4 He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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

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

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

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face, O Jacob. (Selah)

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

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall 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 mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

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

9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; even lift them up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall 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 of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

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