Masalimo 122

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

A Song of degrees of David. 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 shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Yerusalemu anamangidwa ngati mzinda umene uli wothithikana pamodzi.

Jerusalem is built 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, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of 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 of 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' sake, I will now say, Peace [be] within thee.

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

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