Psalms 122

1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of Jehovah.

Ngathokoza lapho besithi kimi: Kasiye endlini yeNkosi.

2 Our feet are standing inside thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Inyawo zethu zimi emasangweni akho, Jerusalema.

3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together,

IJerusalema yakhiwe njengomuzi ohlangeneyo ngokwawo,

4 where the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, for an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

lapho izizwe ezenyukela khona, izizwe zeNkosi, kubufakazi bukaIsrayeli, ukuze zibonge ibizo leNkosi.

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

Ngoba kumiswe khona izihlalo zobukhosi zesahlulelo, izihlalo zobukhosi zendlu kaDavida.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper who love thee.

Khulekelani ukuthula kweJerusalema; bazaphumelela abakuthandayo.

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

Kakube khona ukuthula phakathi kwemiduli yakho, inhlalakahle ezigodlweni zakho.

8 For my brothers and companions' sakes I will now say, Peace be within thee.

Ngenxa yabafowethu labangane bami sengizakuthi: Ukuthula kakube phakathi kwakho.

9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.

Ngenxa yendlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ngizakudingela okuhle.
