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.

On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

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

For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath 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 shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall 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 in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

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

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

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

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

7 Welitenụ isi unu, unu ọnụ ụzọ ama, meenụ ka isi unu bụrụ ihe e welitere, unu ọnụ ụzọ ama ochie, ka eze ebube nwee ike ịbata.

Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

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 mighty: the Lord mighty 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, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

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 hosts, he is the King of Glory.
