Psalms 122

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

Ko e Hiva ʻa Tevita maʻae ʻalu hake. Naʻaku fiefia ʻi heʻenau pehē mai kiate au, “Ke tau ō ki he fale ʻo Sihova.”

2 Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

‌ʻE tuʻu homau vaʻe ki lotoʻā ʻi ho ngaahi matapā, ʻE Selūsalema.

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

Kuo langa ʻa Selūsalema ʻo hangē ko e kolo ʻoku māʻopoʻopo:

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.

‌ʻAia ʻoku ʻalu hake ki ai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Sihova, ki he fakamoʻoni ʻa ʻIsileli, ke ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.

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

He ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi nofoʻa ʻoe fakamaau, ko e ngaahi nofoʻa ʻoe fale ʻo Tevita.

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

Mou hūfia ke melino ʻa Selūsalema: “ʻE monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau ʻofa kiate koe.

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

Ke ʻai ʻae melino ʻi ho ngaahi lotoʻā maka, mo e monūʻia ʻi ho ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki.”

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

Pea koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi kāinga mo hoku ngaahi kaumeʻa, te u lea ni, “Ke ʻiate koe ʻae melino.”

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

Koeʻuhi ko e fale ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, te u kumi ke ke lelei ai.
