Psalms 24

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. To YHWH [is] the earth and its fullness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

Umhlaba ungoweNkosi, lokugcwala kwawo, ilizwe, labahlala kulo.

2 For He has founded it on the seas, And He establishes it on the floods.

Ngoba yona yawusekela phezu kwezinlwandle, yawumisa phezu kwemifula.

3 Who goes up into the hill of YHWH? And who rises up in His holy place?

Ngubani ozakwenyukela entabeni yeNkosi? Kumbe ngubani ozakuma endaweni yayo engcwele?

4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, Nor has sworn to deceit.

Ngulowo olezandla ezihlanzekileyo lenhliziyo emhlophe, ongaphakamiseli umphefumulo wakhe kokuyize longafungi ngenkohliso.

5 He carries away a blessing from YHWH, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Uzakwemukela isibusiso eNkosini, lokulunga kuNkulunkulu wosindiso lwakhe.

6 This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Your face, O Jacob! (Selah)

Lesi yisizukulwana salabo abayidingayo, abadinga ubuso bakho, ngitsho Jakobe. (Sela)

7 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

Phakamisani inhloko zenu, lina masango, phakanyiswani, lina minyango yaphakade, ukuze kungene iNkosi yenkazimulo.

8 Who [is] this—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, YHWH, the mighty in battle.

Ingubani liNkosi yenkazimulo? INkosi elamandla leliqhawe, iNkosi elamandla empini.

9 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

Phakamisani inhloko zenu, lina masango, yebo, phakamani, lina minyango yaphakade, ukuze kungene iNkosi yenkazimulo.

10 Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH of hosts—He [is] the King of Glory! (Selah)

Ingubani liNkosi yenkazimulo? INkosi yamabandla, yiyo eyiNkosi yenkazimulo. (Sela)
