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.”

Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA e im dawk cet awh sei telah, kai koe ati awh navah, ka lunghawi.

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

Oe Jerusalem, kaimae khok teh, nange takhang thungvah a kangdue han.

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

Jerusalem teh kacakpounglah sak e lah ao.

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.

BAWIPA e miphunnaw teh hote kho dawk a cei awh katang. Isarelnaw e phung patetlah BAWIPA e a miphunnaw teh BAWIPA min pholen hanelah, BAWIPA min pholen nahanelah a ceitakhang awh.

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

Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koevah, bawitungkhungnaw, Devit imthung bawitungkhungnaw lawkceng nahanelah a hruek awh.

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

Jerusalem a roum nahanlah ratoum awh. Nang lungpataw naw teh a hmacawn awh naseh.

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

Nange rapannaw roumnae awmseh. Na impui hawinae coe awh naseh.

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

Ka hmaunawngha han hoi ka huikonaw hanelah, nang dawk roumnae awm seh telah ka dei han.

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

Maimae BAWIPA Cathut im hane dawkvah, nange hawinae hah ka tawng han.
