Psalms 122

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

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia, “Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”

2 Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

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

Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

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.

Huko ndiko makabila hukwea, makabila ya Bwana, kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo waliopewa Israeli.

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

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

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

Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu: “Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.

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

Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki, nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mafanikio yako.
