Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”

[David kah Tangtlaeng Laa] Kai taengah, “BOEIPA im la cet uh sih,” a ti uh vaengah ka kohoe.

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

Jerusalem nang kah vongka ah kaimih kho loh pai uh tih om uh.

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

Jerusalem te khopuei la tun cingcui sak ham ni a thoong.

4 where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.

BOEIPA kah koca koca tah olphong bangla BOEIPA ming te uem ham Israel taengla pahoi cet uh.

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

David im kah laitloeknah ngolkhoel ham ngolkhoel te pahoi a hol uh.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

Jerusalem kah sadingnah hamla bih uh. Nang aka lungnah rhoek tah dingsuek saeh.

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

Na rhalmahvong khuiah rhoepnah, na impuei khuiah ommongnah om saeh.

8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

Ka manuca neh ka hui rhoek ham khaw, “Na khuiah rhoepnah om laeh saeh,” ka ti eh.

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.

Mamih Pathen BOEIPA im ham ni nang kah hnothen khaw ka toem eh.
