Psalms 24

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 Who [is] this—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, YHWH, the 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 gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

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

10 Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH 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.
