Psalms 122

1 A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndinakondwera atandiwuza kuti, “Tiyeni ku nyumba ya Yehova.”

2 Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

Mapazi athu akuyima mʼzipata zako, Iwe Yerusalemu.

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

Yerusalemu anamangidwa ngati mzinda umene uli wothithikana pamodzi.

4 where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

Kumeneko ndiye kumene kumapita mafuko, mafuko a Yehova, umboni wa kwa Israeli, kuti atamande dzina la Yehova.

5 For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

Kumeneko anayikako mipando yaufumu yachiweruzo, mipando yaufumu ya nyumba ya Davide.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

Pemphererani mtendere wa Yerusalemu: “Iwo amene amakukonda iwe zinthu ziwayendere bwino.

7 May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

Mukhale mtendere mʼkati mwa makoma ako, ndipo mʼnyumba zako zaufumu mukhale chitetezo.”

8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

Chifukwa cha abale anga ndi abwenzi anga ndidzati, “Mtendere ukhale mʼkati mwako.”

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

Chifukwa cha Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wathu, ndidzakufunira zabwino.
