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.”

Abụ nrigo, nke Devid. Aṅụrịrị m ọṅụ mgbe ha sị m, “Ka anyị gaa nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.”

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

Ụkwụ anyị eguzola ugbu a nʼọnụ ụzọ ama gị niile, gị obodo Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

E wuru Jerusalem dịka obodo a chịkọtara ọnụ nke ọma.

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.

Ọ bụ ebe ahụ ka ebo niile na-arịgo, bụ ebo niile nke Onyenwe anyị, ịbụku aha Onyenwe anyị abụ dịka iwu o nyere ndị Izrel si dị.

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

Nʼebe ahụ ka ocheeze niile nke ikpe ikpe dị, bụ ocheeze niile nke ezinaụlọ Devid.

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

Kpeenụ ekpere maka udo Jerusalem: “Ka ndị niile hụrụ gị nʼanya nọọ nʼudo.

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

Ka udo dịrị nʼime mgbidi gị niile nchekwa dịrịkwa nʼime ebe nche gị niile e wusiri ike.”

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

Nʼihi ụmụnne m na ndị enyi m, ana m ekwu okwu sị, “Udo dịrị gị.”

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

Nʼihi ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke anyị, aga m achọ ọganihu gị.
