Zaburi 24

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

A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

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

For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.

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

Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?

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

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.

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

He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, 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] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy 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, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

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

Who [is] this — 'the king of glory?' Jehovah — strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.

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

Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

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

Who [is] He — this 'king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts — He [is] the king of glory! (Selah)
