Abụ Ọma 24

1 Abụ Ọma Devid. Ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ya bụ nke Onyenwe anyị; ụwa na ndị niile bi nʼime ya.

For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.

2 Ọ tọrọ ntọala ya nʼime oke osimiri niile, o mekwara ka o guzosie ike.

For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Onye bụ onye ahụ nwere ike irigo nʼelu ugwu Onyenwe anyị? Onye nwere ike ịbata guzo nʼime ụlọnsọ ya?

Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?

4 Ọ bụ onye aka ya emeghị ihe ọjọọ, obi ya dịkwa ọcha, onye na-adịghị atụkwasị obi na chi arụsị, maọbụ ṅụọ iyi aghụghọ.

The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.

5 Ha ga-anata ngọzị site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, natakwa mkpepụta site nʼaka Chineke Onye nzọpụta ha.

He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Savior.

6 Otu a ka ọ ga-adịrị ọgbọ ndị ya, bụ ndị na-achọ ihu gị, Chineke nke Jekọb. (Sela)

This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.

Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

8 Onye bụ eze ebube a? Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye bụ dimkpa na dike. Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye bụ dike nʼagha.

Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle.

9 Welitenụ isi unu, unu ọnụ ụzọ ama, buliekwanụ ha elu, unu ọnụ ụzọ ama ochie, ka Eze ebube nwee ike ịbatakwa.

Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

10 Onye bụ eze ebube a? Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ọ bụ ya bụ Eze ebube! (Sela)

Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory.
