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.”

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia, “Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”

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

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

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.

Huko ndiko makabila hukwea, makabila ya Bwana, kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo waliopewa Israeli.

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

Huko viti vya enzi vya hukumu hukaa, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.

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

Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu: “Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.

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

Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki, nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mafanikio yako.
