Psalms 24

1 David’s. A Melody. To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;

Nzembo ya Davidi. Mabele mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ezali ya Yawe. Mokili mpe ezali ya Yawe, elongo na bavandi na yango.

2 For, he, upon the seas, hath founded it, and upon the currents, doth make it firm.

Pamba te ezali Yawe nde atia yango na likolo ya bibale minene mpe apikaki yango na likolo ya miluka.

3 Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who shall stand in his holy place?

Nani akokoka komata ngomba ya Yawe? Nani akokoka kotelema kati na Esika na Ye ya bule?

4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, —who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor sworn deceitfully,

Ezali moto oyo azali maboko pembe mpe motema peto, oyo atiaka elikya te na banzambe ya bikeko mpe alapaka ndayi ya lokuta te.

5 Shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh, and righteousness, from his delivering God.

Yawe akopambola ye; mpe Nzambe, Mobikisi na ye, akokomisa ye sembo.

6 This, is the generation of them who inquire of him, who seek thy face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

Ndenge wana nde ezali, ekeke ya bato oyo bakangamaka na Yo, ba-oyo balukaka elongi na Yo, Nzambe ya Jakobi.

7 Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, and lift yourselves up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

Bino bikuke, botombola mitondo na bino! Bino bikuke ya kala, bomitombola! Tika ete Mokonzi ya nkembo akota!

8 Who is the king of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.

Nani azali Mokonzi yango ya nkembo? Ezali Yawe, Elombe ya nguya; Yawe, Elombe ya bitumba.

9 Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, yea lift [them] up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

Bino bikuke, botombola mitondo na bino! Bino bikuke ya kala, bomitombola! Tika ete Mokonzi ya nkembo akota!

10 Who then is the king of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He, is the king of glory. (Selah)

Nani azali Mokonzi yango ya nkembo? Ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde azali Mokonzi ya nkembo!
