Psalms 122

1 A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us 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 Our feet stood in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

Malu meto matelimini mu mielo miaku, a Yelusalemi.

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

Yelusalemi ditungu banga divula. Diodi dikangama ngolo va kimosi

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 have diligently sought thy good.

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