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 was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

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 is 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 the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

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

For there are set thrones of 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 walls, [and] prosperity within thy palaces.

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

For my brethren and companions' sake, I will now say, Peace [be] within thee.

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

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