Psalms 24
1 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
Ihubo likaDavida. Umhlaba ngokaThixo, lakho konke okukuwo, ilizwe labo bonke abahlala kulo;
2 because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
ngoba wenza isisekelo sawo phezu kolwandle wawumisa phezu kwamanzi.
3 Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
Ngubani ongaqansa intaba kaThixo na? Ngubani ongema endaweni yakhe engcwele na?
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].
Ngulowo olezandla ezihlanzekileyo lenhliziyo emhlophe, ongaphakamiseli umphefumulo wakhe kunkulunkulu wamanga loba afunge ngenkohliso.
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).
Uzakwamukela isibusiso kuThixo lokukhululwa kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wakhe.
6 They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
Sinjalo isizukulwane salabo abamdingayo, abadinga ubuso Bakho, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe.
7 Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Phakamisani amakhanda enu, lina masango; phakamani, lina minyango yekadeni, ukuba iNkosi yenkazimulo ingene.
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!
Ngubani iNkosi yenkazimulo? NguThixo oqinileyo olamandla, uThixo olamandla empini.
9 Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Phakamisani amakhanda enu, lina masango; aphakamiseni, lina minyango yekadeni, ukuba iNkosi yenkazimulo ingene.
10 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
Ungubani na lowo Thixo wenkazimulo? NguThixo uSomandla iNkosi yenkazimulo.
