Psalms 122

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

David ƒe mɔzɔha. Mekpɔ dzidzɔ kple ame siwo gblɔ nam be, “Mina míayi Yehowa ƒe aƒe me.”

2 Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

O! Yerusalem, míaƒe afɔwo le wò agbowo nu.

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

Wotso Yerusalem, eye nèle abe du si tsyia ɖe wo nɔewo nu ene.

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

Afi ma to vovovoawo yina, Yehowa ƒe toawo, be woakafu Yehowa, le ɖoɖo si wòna Israel nu.

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

Afi ma woɖo ʋɔnudrɔ̃zikpuiwo ɖo, David ƒe aƒe la ƒe fiazikpuiwo.

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

Mido gbe ɖa, abia ŋutifafa na Yerusalem be, “Ame siwo lɔ̃ wò la nenɔ dedie.

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

Ŋutifafa nenɔ wò gliwo me kple dedinɔnɔ le wò fiasãwo me.”

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

Le nɔvinye ŋutsuwo kple xɔ̃nyewo ta, magblɔ be, “Ŋutifafa nenɔ mewò.”

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

Le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe aƒe la ta, madi dzidzedze na wò.
