1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA e im dawk cet awh sei telah, kai koe ati awh navah, ka lunghawi.

A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

2 Oe Jerusalem, kaimae khok teh, nange takhang thungvah a kangdue han.

Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem teh kacakpounglah sak e lah ao.

Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

4 BAWIPA e miphunnaw teh hote kho dawk a cei awh katang. Isarelnaw e phung patetlah BAWIPA e a miphunnaw teh BAWIPA min pholen hanelah, BAWIPA min pholen nahanelah a ceitakhang awh.

where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koevah, bawitungkhungnaw, Devit imthung bawitungkhungnaw lawkceng nahanelah a hruek awh.

For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

7 Nange rapannaw roumnae awmseh. Na impui hawinae coe awh naseh.

May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

8 Ka hmaunawngha han hoi ka huikonaw hanelah, nang dawk roumnae awm seh telah ka dei han.

For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
