詩篇 122

1 我喜歡，因為有人向我說：我們要進入上主的聖殿。

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. I was so happy when they said to me, “Let's go the house of the Lord.”

2 耶路撒冷！我們的雙足已經站立在您的門口。

Now we're standing inside your gates, Jerusalem!

3 耶路撒冷的建築好似京城，確是內部劃一整齊的京城。

Jerusalem is built as a city where people can be together.

4 各支派，上主的各支派都齊聚在那裡，按照以色列的法律讚頌上主的名字。

All the tribes—the tribes of the Lord—go up there, following the command given to Israel to give thanks to the Lord.

5 那裡設立了執政者的座席，那裡有達味王室的寶位。

This is where the thrones are placed, where judgment is given, the thrones of the house of David.

6 請為耶路撒冷祈禱和平；願愛慕您的人獲享安寧，

Pray that Jerusalem may be at peace. May everyone who loves Jerusalem be kept safe.

7 願在您的城垣內有平安，願在您的堡壘中有安全。

May there be peace within your walls, and safety within your fortresses.

8 為了我的兄弟和同伴們，我要向您說：祝您平安！

On behalf of my family and friends, I will now say, “May you be at peace.”

9 為了上主我們天主的殿宇，我為您懇切祈禱，祝您幸福。

On behalf of the house of the Lord our God, I pray that everything goes well for you.
