Zaburi 24

1 Zaburi ya Daudi. Dunia ni mali ya Bwana, na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake, ulimwengu, na wote waishio ndani yake,

A Psalme of David. The earth is the Lordes, and all that therein is: the worlde and they that dwell therein.

2 maana aliiwekea misingi yake baharini na kuifanya imara juu ya maji.

For he hath founded it vpon the seas: and established it vpon the floods.

3 Nani awezaye kuupanda mlima wa Bwana? Ni nani awezaye kusimama patakatifu pake?

Who shall ascende into the mountaine of the Lord? and who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Ni yule mwenye mikono safi na moyo mweupe, yule ambaye hakuinulia sanamu nafsi yake au kuapa kwa kitu cha uongo.

Euen he that hath innocent handes, and a pure heart: which hath not lift vp his minde vnto vanitie, nor sworne deceitfully.

5 Huyo atapokea baraka kutoka kwa Bwana, na hukumu ya haki kutoka kwa Mungu Mwokozi wake.

He shall receiue a blessing from the Lord, and righteousnesse from the God of his saluation.

6 Hiki ndicho kizazi cha wale wamtafutao, wale wautafutao uso wako, Ee Mungu wa Yakobo.

This is the generation of them that seeke him, of them that seeke thy face, this is Iaakob. (Selah)

7 Inueni vichwa vyenu, enyi malango, inukeni enyi milango ya kale, ili mfalme wa utukufu apate kuingia.

Lift vp your heads ye gates, and be ye lift vp ye euerlasting doores, and the King of glory shall come in.

8 Ni nani huyu Mfalme wa utukufu? Ni Bwana aliye na nguvu na uweza, ni Bwana aliye hodari katika vita.

Who is this King of glorie? the Lord, strong and mightie, euen the Lord mightie in battell.

9 Inueni vichwa vyenu, enyi malango, viinueni juu enyi milango ya kale, ili Mfalme wa utukufu apate kuingia.

Lift vp your heads, ye gates, and lift vp your selues, ye euerlasting doores, and the King of glorie shall come in.

10 Ni nani yeye, huyu Mfalme wa utukufu? Ni Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote; yeye ndiye Mfalme wa utukufu.

Who is this King of glory? the Lord of hostes, he is the King of glorie. (Selah)
