Psalms 122

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

Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Lwa Dawudi. Nasanyuka bwe baŋŋamba nti, “Tugende mu nnyumba ya Mukama!”

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

Ebigere byaffe biyimiridde mu miryango gyo, Ayi Yerusaalemi.

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

Yerusaalemi yazimbibwa okuba ekibuga ekinywevu ekiyimiridde awamu.

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

Eyo ebika byonna gye biraga, ebika bya Mukama, okutendereza erinnya lya Mukama ng’ebiragiro ebyaweebwa Isirayiri bwe biri.

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

Eyo entebe ez’okusalirako emisango gye zaateekebwa; z’entebe ez’obwakabaka ez’ennyumba ya Dawudi.

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

Musabirenga Yerusaalemi emirembe: “Abo abakwagala bafune ebirungi.

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

Emirembe gibeerenga munda w’ebisenge byo; n’amayumba go amanene gabeerenga n’omukisa era nga manywevu.”

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

Olwa baganda bange ne mikwano gyange nnaayogeranga nti, “Emirembe gibeerenga mu ggwe.”

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

Olw’obulungi bw’ennyumba ya Mukama Katonda waffe, nnaanoonyanga okukulaakulana kwa Yerusaalemi.
