< Psalms 122 >
1 A Song of degrees. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.
Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia, “Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”
2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.
3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,
Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.
4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
Huko ndiko makabila hukwea, makabila ya Bwana, kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo waliopewa Israeli.
5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
Huko viti vya enzi vya hukumu hukaa, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu: “Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.
7 Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.
Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”
8 For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!
Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki, nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”
9 Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mafanikio yako.
