Psalms 122

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

Ɔsoroforɔ dwom. Dawid deɛ. Ɛberɛ a wɔsee me sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ Awurade fie” no, mʼani gyeeɛ.

2 Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

Yɛgyinagyina wʼapono ano, Ao Yerusalem.

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

Wɔakyekyere Yerusalem yie sɛ kuropɔn. Wɔahyehyɛ mu nneɛma fɛfɛ.

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.

Ɛhɔ na mmusuakuo no korɔ, Awurade mmusuakuo no. Wɔkɔkamfo Awurade din sɛdeɛ nhyehyɛeɛ a wɔde ama Israel no teɛ.

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

Ɛhɔ na atemmuo nhennwa no sisi, Dawid fie nhennwa no.

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

Monsrɛ asomdwoeɛ mma Yerusalem sɛ, “Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo no nnya banbɔ.

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

Ma asomdwoeɛ mmra wʼafasuo mu na banbɔ mmra wʼabankɛsewa mu.”

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

Me nuanom ne me nnamfonom enti, meka sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ ntena wo mu.”

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

Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn fie enti, mɛhwehwɛ wo nkɔsoɔ.
