Zabbuli 24

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

The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

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

For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

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

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

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

He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face, O Jacob. (Selah)

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

Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall 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 mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

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

Lift up your heads, O you gates; even lift them up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

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

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
