Psalms 122

1 A Song of degrees. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndinakondwera atandiwuza kuti, “Tiyeni ku nyumba ya Yehova.”

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Mapazi athu akuyima mʼzipata zako, Iwe Yerusalemu.

3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

Yerusalemu anamangidwa ngati mzinda umene uli wothithikana pamodzi.

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

Kumeneko ndiye kumene kumapita mafuko, mafuko a Yehova, umboni wa kwa Israeli, kuti atamande dzina la Yehova.

5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Kumeneko anayikako mipando yaufumu yachiweruzo, mipando yaufumu ya nyumba ya Davide.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Pemphererani mtendere wa Yerusalemu: “Iwo amene amakukonda iwe zinthu ziwayendere bwino.

7 Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

Mukhale mtendere mʼkati mwa makoma ako, ndipo mʼnyumba zako zaufumu mukhale chitetezo.”

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

Chifukwa cha abale anga ndi abwenzi anga ndidzati, “Mtendere ukhale mʼkati mwako.”

9 Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.

Chifukwa cha Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wathu, ndidzakufunira zabwino.
