Psalms 24

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kizazi cha wale wamtafutao Mungu ni kama hiki, wale ambao wanautafuta uso wa 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, ninyi malango; muinuliwe juu, milango ya milango ya kudumu, ili kwamba Mfalme wa utukufu aweze kuingia!

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

Huyu Mfalme wa utukufu ni nani? Yahwe, mwenye nguvu na uweza; Yahwe, mwenye uweza 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, ninyi malango; muinuliwe juu, milango ya kudumu, ili kwamba Mfalme wa utukufu aweze kuingia!

10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

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