Psalms 122

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.

Nkunga Davidi wuyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Khini ndimona bu bakhamba ti: “Bika tuendanu ku nzo Yave”.

2 At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.

Malu meto matelimini mu mielo miaku, a Yelusalemi.

3 O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;

Yelusalemi ditungu banga divula. Diodi dikangama ngolo va kimosi

4 To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.

Kuna kueti kuiza zimvila, zimvila Yave mu diambu di zitisa dizina di Yave boso buididi zinzengolo zivanu kuidi Iseli.

5 For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.

Bila kuna kutelimini bikundu bi kipfumu bi tsambusulu; bikundu bi kipfumu bi nzo yi Davidi.

6 O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.

Lusambila mu diambu di ndembama yi Yelusalemi. Bika bobo beti kuzola bamona luvovomo.

7 May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.

Bika ndembama yiba mu bibaka biaku ayi luvovomo mu zinzo ziaku zinneni.

8 Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.

Mu diambu di bakhomba ziama ayi bakundi bama ndiela tuba “bika ndembama yiba yaku”.

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.

Mu diambu di nzo Yave, Nzambi eto, ndiela tomba mamboti maku.
