詩篇 122

1 大衛上行之詩。 人對我說：我們往耶和華的殿去， 我就歡喜。

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 耶路撒冷啊， 我們的腳站在你的門內。

Now we're standing inside your gates, Jerusalem!

3 耶路撒冷被建造， 如同連絡整齊的一座城。

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

4 眾支派，就是耶和華的支派，上那裏去， 按以色列的常例稱讚耶和華的名。

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

5 因為在那裏設立審判的寶座， 就是大衛家的寶座。

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

6 你們要為耶路撒冷求平安！ 耶路撒冷啊，愛你的人必然興旺！

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

7 願你城中平安！ 願你宮內興旺！

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

8 因我弟兄和同伴的緣故，我要說： 願平安在你中間！

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

9 因耶和華－我們上帝殿的緣故， 我要為你求福！

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