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 Yahweh's, and its fullness, the world, and all who live in it.

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

For he has founded it upon the seas and established it on the rivers.

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

Who will ascend the mountain of Yahweh? Who will stand in his holy place?

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

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up a falsehood, and has not sworn an oath in order to deceive.

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

He will receive a blessing from Yahweh and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

Such is the generation of those who seek him, those who seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may come in!

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

Who is this King of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty; Yahweh, mighty in battle.

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

Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may come in!

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

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