Zaburi 24

1 Nchi ni ya Yahwe, na vyote viijazavyo, dunia, na wote wakaao ndani yake.

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

2 Kwa kuwa yeye aliianzisha juu ya bahari na kuiimarisha juu ya mito.

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

3 Ni nani atakaye panda mlima wa Yahwe? Ni nani atakaye simama patakatifu pake?

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

4 Yeye ambaye ana mikono misafi na moyo safi; ambaye hajauinua uongo, na haja apa kiapo ili kudanganya.

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

5 Yeye atapokea baraka kutoka kwa Yahwe na haki kutoka kwa Mungu wa wokovu wake.

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

6 Kizazi cha wale wamtafutao Mungu ni kama hiki, wale ambao wanautafuta uso wa Mungu wa Yakobo.

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

7 Inueni vichwa vyenu, ninyi malango; muinuliwe juu, milango ya milango ya kudumu, ili kwamba Mfalme wa utukufu aweze kuingia!

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

8 Huyu Mfalme wa utukufu ni nani? Yahwe, mwenye nguvu na uweza; Yahwe, mwenye uweza katika vita.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

9 Inueni vichwa vyenu, ninyi malango; muinuliwe juu, milango ya kudumu, ili kwamba Mfalme wa utukufu aweze kuingia!

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

10 Huyu Mfalme wa utukufu ni nani? Yahwe wa majeshi, yeye ni Mfalme wa utukufu.

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