Psalms 122

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

Ɔsoroforo dwom. Dawid de. Me ne wɔn a wosee me sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ Awurade fi” no ani gyei.

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

Yegyinagyina wʼaponkɛse ano, Yerusalem.

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

Wɔakyekyere Yerusalem yiye sɛ kuropɔn wahyehyɛ mu nneɛma fɛfɛ.

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

Ɛhɔ na mmusuakuw no kɔ, Awurade mmusuakuw no, Wɔkɔkamfo Awurade din, sɛnea nhyehyɛe a wɔde ama Israel no te.

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

Ɛhɔ na atemmu nhengua no sisi, Dawid fi nhengua no.

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

Monsrɛ asomdwoe mma Yerusalem se, “Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo no nnya bammɔ.

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

Ma asomdwoe mmra wʼafasu mu na bammɔ mmra wʼaban mu.”

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

Me nuanom ne me nnamfonom nti, mɛka se, “Asomdwoe ntena wo mu.”

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

Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn fi nti, mɛhwehwɛ wo yiyeyɛ.
