Psalms 24

1 A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ensi ya Mukama n’ebigirimu byonna, n’ensi zonna n’abo abazibeeramu.

2 For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.

Kubanga yasimba emisingi gyayo mu nnyanja, n’agizimba ku mazzi amangi.

3 Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?

Alyambuka ku lusozi lwa Mukama ye afaanana atya? Era wa ngeri ki aliyingira n’ayimirira mu nnyumba ye entukuvu?

4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.

Oyo alina omutima omulongoofu, nga n’emikono gye mirongoofu; atasinza bakatonda abalala, era atalayirira bwereere.

5 He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Oyo Mukama anaamuwanga omukisa, n’obutuukirivu okuva eri Katonda ow’obulokozi bwe.

6 This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! (Selah)

Ogwo gwe mulembe gw’abo abakunoonya, Ayi Katonda wa Yakobo.

7 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

Mweggulewo, mmwe bawankaaki! Muggulwewo, mmwe enzigi ez’edda, Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa ayingire.

8 Who [is] this — 'the king of glory?' Jehovah — strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.

Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa ye ani? Ye Mukama ow’amaanyi era ow’obuyinza, omuwanguzi mu ntalo.

9 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

Mweggulewo, mmwe bawankaaki, muggulwewo mmwe enzigi ez’edda! Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa ayingire.

10 Who [is] He — this 'king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts — He [is] the king of glory! (Selah)

Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa oyo ye ani? Mukama Ayinzabyonna; oyo ye Kabaka ow’ekitiibwa.
