Psalms 122

1 A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”

David kah Tangtlaeng Laa Kai taengah, “BOEIPA im la cet uh sih,” a ti uh vaengah ka kohoe.

2 Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem nang kah vongka ah kaimih kho loh pai uh tih om uh.

3 Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.

Jerusalem te khopuei la tun cingcui sak ham ni a thoong.

4 For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.

BOEIPA kah koca koca tah olphong bangla BOEIPA ming te uem ham Israel taengla pahoi cet uh.

5 For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.

David im kah laitloeknah ngolkhoel ham ngolkhoel te pahoi a hol uh.

6 Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you.

Jerusalem kah sadingnah hamla bih uh. Nang aka lungnah rhoek tah dingsuek saeh.

7 Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers.

Na rhalmahvong khuiah rhoepnah, na impuei khuiah ommongnah om saeh.

8 For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you.

Ka manuca neh ka hui rhoek ham khaw, “Na khuiah rhoepnah om laeh saeh,” ka ti eh.

9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you.

Mamih Pathen BOEIPA im ham ni nang kah hnothen khaw ka toem eh.
