Zaburi 122

1 Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Mar Daudi. Ne amor gi joma nowachona niya, “Wadhiuru e od Jehova Nyasaye.”

A Song of degrees. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

2 Tiendewa ochungʼ e dhorangeyeni, yaye Jerusalem.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem oger ka dala ma ji odakie machiegni motenore.

Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

4 Kanyo e kama ogendini idho dhiye, ogendini mag Jehova Nyasaye dhi kuno, mondo opak nying Jehova Nyasaye ka giluwo chike mane omi Israel.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

5 Kanyo ema kombe loch mag ngʼado bura nitie gin kombe loch mag jood Daudi.

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

6 Lamuru mondo Jerusalem obed gi kwe. Lamuru niya, “Mad joma oheri bed gi kwe.

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

7 Mad kwe yudre ei alworani, adier kwe mondo obedi ei ohinga mochieli.”

Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

8 Nikech owetena gi osiepena modak e iyi, awacho niya, “Jerusalem mondo obed gi kwe.”

For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

9 Nikech wach od Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, adwaro ni idhi maber.

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