Psalms 24
1 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
Nchi ni ya Yahwe, na vyote viijazavyo, dunia, na wote wakaao ndani yake.
2 because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
Kwa kuwa yeye aliianzisha juu ya bahari na kuiimarisha juu ya mito.
3 Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
Ni nani atakaye panda mlima wa Yahwe? Ni nani atakaye simama patakatifu pake?
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].
Yeye ambaye ana mikono misafi na moyo safi; ambaye hajauinua uongo, na haja apa kiapo ili kudanganya.
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).
Yeye atapokea baraka kutoka kwa Yahwe na haki kutoka kwa Mungu wa wokovu wake.
6 They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
Kizazi cha wale wamtafutao Mungu ni kama hiki, wale ambao wanautafuta uso wa Mungu wa Yakobo.
7 Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Inueni vichwa vyenu, ninyi malango; muinuliwe juu, milango ya milango ya kudumu, ili kwamba Mfalme wa utukufu aweze kuingia!
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!
Huyu Mfalme wa utukufu ni nani? Yahwe, mwenye nguvu na uweza; Yahwe, mwenye uweza katika vita.
9 Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Inueni vichwa vyenu, ninyi malango; muinuliwe juu, milango ya kudumu, ili kwamba Mfalme wa utukufu aweze kuingia!
10 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
Huyu Mfalme wa utukufu ni nani? Yahwe wa majeshi, yeye ni Mfalme wa utukufu.
