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.”

Nilifurahi waliponiambia, “Na twende kwenye Nyumba ya Yahwe.”

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

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama ndani ya malango yako!

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!

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.

Makabila huenda juu Yerusalemu, makabila ya Yahwe; kama ushuhuda wa Israeli, kulishukuru jina la Yahwe.

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

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

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

Ombeni kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu! “Wote wakupendao wawe na amani.

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

Amani iwepo ndani ya kuta zako ili ikutetee, na wawe na amani 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 rafiki zangu nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yenu.”

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

Kwa ajili ya Yahwe Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mema kwa ajili yako.
