Masalimo 122

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

A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the LORD.

2 Mapazi athu akuyima mʼzipata zako, Iwe Yerusalemu.

Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

3 Yerusalemu anamangidwa ngati mzinda umene uli wothithikana pamodzi.

Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together:

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

Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD [for] a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into the name of the LORD.

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

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

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

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

Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

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

For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

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

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
