< Psalms 24 >
1 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
Salimo la Davide. Dziko lapansi ndi la Yehova ndi zonse zimene zili mʼmenemo, dziko ndi onse amene amakhala mʼmenemo;
2 because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
pakuti Iye ndiye anayika maziko ake pa nyanja ndi kulikhazika pamwamba pa madzi.
3 Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
Ndani angakwere phiri la Yehova? Ndani angathe kuyima pa malo ake opatulika?
4 [Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].
Iye amene ali ndi mʼmanja moyera ndi mtima woyera, amene sapereka moyo wake kwa fano kapena kulumbira mwachinyengo.
5 (They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).
Iyeyo adzalandira madalitso kwa Yehova ndipo Mulungu mpulumutsi wake adzagamula kuti alibe mlandu.
6 They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
Umenewo ndiwo mʼbado wa amene amafunafuna Yehova; amene amafunafuna nkhope yanu, Inu Mulungu wa Yakobo. (Sela)
7 Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Tukulani mitu yanu inu zipata; tsekukani, inu zitseko zakalekalenu, kuti Mfumu yaulemerero ilowe.
8 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!
Kodi Mfumu yaulemereroyo ndani? Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Yehova ndiye wamphamvu pa nkhondo.
9 Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Tukulani mitu yanu, inu zipata; tsekukani, inu zitseko zakalekalenu, kuti Mfumu yaulemerero ilowe.
10 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
Kodi Mfumu yaulemereroyo ndani? Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Iye ndiye Mfumu yaulemerero. (Sela)
