Psalms 122

1 A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Bawipa a im na cet u sih,” tinawh amik kqawn law awh zeel soeih nyng.

2 Our feet stood in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

Aw Jerusalem, kaimih a khaw khqi ve vawng chawmkeng awh dyi hawh uhy.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.

Jerusalem taw khawk bau ak zoei cana ami sak amyihna sak na awm hy.

4 For thither the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

Israel a venawh cuk kiknaak awipeek peek na a awm amyihna, Bawipang ming kyihcah ham, cawh ce thlang pilnamkhqi, Bawipa a pilnam khqi hang cet uhy.

5 For there are set thrones for judgment, [even] thrones for the house of David.

Cawh ce awidengnaak boei ngawihdoelh khqi, David ipkhui awhkaw boei ngawihdoelh khqi awm hy.

6 Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love thee.

Jerusalem ngaihqepnaak aham cykcah lah uh: “Nang anik lungnaak thlangkhqi ce qalmawng na awm u seh.

7 Let peace, I pray, be within thine host, and prosperity in thy palaces.

Na vawng khuiawh ngaihqepnaak awm seitaw, na boei awmnaak im kqang ngaihqepnaak awm seh.”

8 For the sake of my brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning thee.

Ka koeinaa ingkaw pyikhqi awh, “Nang ak khuiawh ngaihqepnaak awm seh,” ti kawng nyng.

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought thy good.

Bawipa ningnih Khawsa im awh, nang a boeimangnaak ce sui kawng nyng.
