Zabbuli 24

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

A psalm of David. The earth is the Lord's, and everything that is in it belongs to him. The world is his, and everyone who lives there.

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

For he is the one who laid its foundations on the seas, setting it in place on the waters.

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

Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?

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

Those who have clean hands and pure minds, who don't worship idols, and who don't lie under oath.

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

They will take with them the blessing of the Lord, vindicated by the God who saves them.

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

These are the kind of people who may go to the Lord and worship before you, God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!

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

Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and powerful, mighty in battle.

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

Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!

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

Who is this King of glory? The Lord Almighty, he is the King of glory! (Selah)
