< Psalms 24 >
1 The earth is Yhwh's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Nchi ni ya Yahwe, na vyote viijazavyo, dunia, na wote wakaao ndani yake.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
Kwa kuwa yeye aliianzisha juu ya bahari na kuiimarisha juu ya mito.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of Yhwh? or who shall stand in his holy place?
Ni nani atakaye panda mlima wa Yahwe? Ni nani atakaye simama patakatifu pake?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto 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 Yhwh, 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 thy 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 ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye 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? Yhwh strong and mighty, Yhwh 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 ye gates; even lift them up, ye 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? Yhwh of Armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
Huyu Mfalme wa utukufu ni nani? Yahwe wa majeshi, yeye ni Mfalme wa utukufu.
