Masalimo 122

1 Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndinakondwera atandiwuza kuti, “Tiyeni ku nyumba ya Yehova.”

A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

2 Mapazi athu akuyima mʼzipata zako, Iwe Yerusalemu.

Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

3 Yerusalemu anamangidwa ngati mzinda umene uli wothithikana pamodzi.

Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.

4 Kumeneko ndiye kumene kumapita mafuko, mafuko a Yehova, umboni wa kwa Israeli, kuti atamande dzina la Yehova.

For there the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

5 Kumeneko anayikako mipando yaufumu yachiweruzo, mipando yaufumu ya nyumba ya Davide.

For there are set thrones for judgment, [even] thrones for the house of David.

6 Pemphererani mtendere wa Yerusalemu: “Iwo amene amakukonda iwe zinthu ziwayendere bwino.

Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love you.

7 Mukhale mtendere mʼkati mwa makoma ako, ndipo mʼnyumba zako zaufumu mukhale chitetezo.”

Let peace, I pray, be within your host, and prosperity in your palaces.

8 Chifukwa cha abale anga ndi abwenzi anga ndidzati, “Mtendere ukhale mʼkati mwako.”

For the sake of my brethren and my neighbors, I have indeed spoken peace concerning you.

9 Chifukwa cha Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wathu, ndidzakufunira zabwino.

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought your good.
