Psalms 24
1 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ensi ya Mukama n’ebigirimu byonna, n’ensi zonna n’abo abazibeeramu.
2 because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
Kubanga yasimba emisingi gyayo mu nnyanja, n’agizimba ku mazzi amangi.
3 Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
Alyambuka ku lusozi lwa Mukama ye afaanana atya? Era wa ngeri ki aliyingira n’ayimirira mu nnyumba ye entukuvu?
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].
Oyo alina omutima omulongoofu, nga n’emikono gye mirongoofu; atasinza bakatonda abalala, era atalayirira bwereere.
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).
Oyo Mukama anaamuwanga omukisa, n’obutuukirivu okuva eri Katonda ow’obulokozi bwe.
6 They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
Ogwo gwe mulembe gw’abo abakunoonya, Ayi Katonda wa Yakobo.
7 Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Mweggulewo, mmwe bawankaaki! Muggulwewo, mmwe enzigi ez’edda, Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa ayingire.
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!
Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa ye ani? Ye Mukama ow’amaanyi era ow’obuyinza, omuwanguzi mu ntalo.
9 Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Mweggulewo, mmwe bawankaaki, muggulwewo mmwe enzigi ez’edda! Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa ayingire.
10 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa oyo ye ani? Mukama Ayinzabyonna; oyo ye Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa.
