Psalms 24

1 A psalm of David. The earth is Yahweh's, and its fullness, the world, and all who live in it.

He himene na Rawiri. No Ihowa te whenua, me ona tini mea, te ao, me nga tangata e noho ana i runga.

2 For he has founded it upon the seas and established it on the rivers.

He mea whakatu hoki nana ki runga ki nga moana, he mea whakau ki runga ki nga roma.

3 Who will ascend the mountain of Yahweh? Who will stand in his holy place?

Ko wai e eke ki te maunga o Ihowa? Ko wai e tu ki tona wahi tapu?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up a falsehood, and has not sworn an oath in order to deceive.

Ko te tangata he ma nei nga ringa, he harakore tona ngakau, kahore nei i ara tona wairua ki te horihori, a kahore i oati teka.

5 He will receive a blessing from Yahweh and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Ka riro i a ia te manaaki a Ihowa, me te tika a te Atua o tona whakaoranga.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, those who seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

Ko te whakatupuranga tenei o te hunga e rapu ana ki a ia, e rapu nei i tou mate, e Hakopa. (Hera)

7 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may come in!

Kia ara o koutou matenga, e nga tatau, ara ake, e nga tatau onamata; a ka tomo te Kingi o te kororia.

8 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty; Yahweh, mighty in battle.

Ko wai tenei Kingi kororia? Ko Ihowa, ko te kaha, ko te marohirohi, ko Ihowa, ko te marohirohi ki te whawhai.

9 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may come in!

Kia ara o koutou matenga, e nga tatau, kia ara ake, e nga tatau onamata, a ka tomo te Kingi o te kororia.

10 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

Ko wai tenei Kingi kororia? Ko Ihowa o nga mano, ko ia te Kingi kororia. (Hera)
