Psalms 24

1 A Psalm by David. The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

Nkunga Davidi. Ntoto widi wu Yave ayi bibioso bidi mu wawu; nza ayi babo banzinganga muawu.

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

Bila niandi wutunga ntoto va mbata mimbu ayi wukindisa wawu va mbata minlangu.

3 Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

Nani wulenda kuma ku mongo wu Yave? Nani wulenda telama va buangu kiandi kinlongo e?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

Woso mutu widi mioko misukulu ayi ntima wuvedila; woso mutu wunkambu vumuna muelꞌandi kuidi bitumba, Voti wunkambu levanga ndefi mu mambu ma luvunu.

5 He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Wela tambula lusakumunu luela ba kuidi Yave, ayi ndungunu Nzambi yi Mvulusi andi.

6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. (Selah)

Buawu bobo buididi tsungi yi batu bakuntombanga, yi bawu bantombanga zizi kiaku, a Nzambi yi Yakobi.

7 Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

Luvumbula mintu mieno, beno mielo! Luvumbuka beno mielo mikhulu! Muingi ntinu wu nkembo kakota.

8 Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle.

Nani ntinu wu nkembo e? Keti Yave, nkua ngolo ayi nkua lulendo! Keti Yave, nkua lulendo mu zimvita!

9 Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

Luvumbula mintu mieno, beno mielo! Luvumbuka beno mielo mikhulu! Muingi ntinu wu nkembo kakota.

10 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! (Selah)

Nani wowo ntinu beni wu nkembo e? Keti Yave, pfumu yi minkangu mi masodi. Niandi ntinu wu nkembo.
