< Psalms 24 >
1 Of David a psalm [belongs] to Yahweh the earth and what fills it [the] world and [those who] dwell in it.
Umhlaba ungoweNkosi, lokugcwala kwawo, ilizwe, labahlala kulo.
2 For he on [the] seas he founded it and on [the] rivers he established it.
Ngoba yona yawusekela phezu kwezinlwandle, yawumisa phezu kwemifula.
3 Who? will he go up on [the] mountain of Yahweh and who? will he stand in [the] place of holiness his.
Ngubani ozakwenyukela entabeni yeNkosi? Kumbe ngubani ozakuma endaweni yayo engcwele?
4 A [person] innocent of hands and a [person] pure of heart who - not he has lifted up to falsehood desire my and not he has sworn an oath to deceit.
Ngulowo olezandla ezihlanzekileyo lenhliziyo emhlophe, ongaphakamiseli umphefumulo wakhe kokuyize longafungi ngenkohliso.
5 He will lift up blessing from with Yahweh and righteousness from [the] God of salvation his.
Uzakwemukela isibusiso eNkosini, lokulunga kuNkulunkulu wosindiso lwakhe.
6 This [is] [the] generation of ([those who] seek him *Q(k)*) [those who] seek face your O Jacob (Selah)
Lesi yisizukulwana salabo abayidingayo, abadinga ubuso bakho, ngitsho Jakobe. (Sela)
7 Lift up O gates - heads your and be lifted up O doors of antiquity so he may come [the] king of glory.
Phakamisani inhloko zenu, lina masango, phakanyiswani, lina minyango yaphakade, ukuze kungene iNkosi yenkazimulo.
8 Who? [is] this [the] king of glory Yahweh strong and mighty Yahweh mighty of battle.
Ingubani liNkosi yenkazimulo? INkosi elamandla leliqhawe, iNkosi elamandla empini.
9 Lift up O gates - heads your and lift up O doors of antiquity so he may come [the] king of glory.
Phakamisani inhloko zenu, lina masango, yebo, phakamani, lina minyango yaphakade, ukuze kungene iNkosi yenkazimulo.
10 Who? that [is] this [the] king of glory Yahweh of hosts he [is] [the] king of glory (Selah)
Ingubani liNkosi yenkazimulo? INkosi yamabandla, yiyo eyiNkosi yenkazimulo. (Sela)
