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!”

Ɔsoroforɔ dwom. Dawid deɛ. Ɛberɛ a wɔsee me sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ Awurade fie” no, mʼani gyeeɛ.

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

Yɛgyinagyina wʼapono ano, Ao Yerusalem.

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

Wɔakyekyere Yerusalem yie sɛ kuropɔn. Wɔahyehyɛ mu nneɛma fɛfɛ.

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.

Ɛhɔ na mmusuakuo no korɔ, Awurade mmusuakuo no. Wɔkɔkamfo Awurade din sɛdeɛ nhyehyɛeɛ a wɔde ama Israel no teɛ.

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

Ɛhɔ na atemmuo nhennwa no sisi, Dawid fie nhennwa no.

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

Monsrɛ asomdwoeɛ mma Yerusalem sɛ, “Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo no nnya banbɔ.

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

Ma asomdwoeɛ mmra wʼafasuo mu na banbɔ mmra wʼabankɛsewa mu.”

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

Me nuanom ne me nnamfonom enti, meka sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ ntena wo mu.”

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

Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn fie enti, mɛhwehwɛ wo nkɔsoɔ.
