Psalms 122

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

Nkunga Davidi wuyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Khini ndimona bu bakhamba ti: “Bika tuendanu ku nzo Yave”.

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

Malu meto matelimini mu mielo miaku, a Yelusalemi.

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

Yelusalemi ditungu banga divula. Diodi dikangama ngolo va kimosi

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

Kuna kueti kuiza zimvila, zimvila Yave mu diambu di zitisa dizina di Yave boso buididi zinzengolo zivanu kuidi Iseli.

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

Bila kuna kutelimini bikundu bi kipfumu bi tsambusulu; bikundu bi kipfumu bi nzo yi Davidi.

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

Lusambila mu diambu di ndembama yi Yelusalemi. Bika bobo beti kuzola bamona luvovomo.

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

Bika ndembama yiba mu bibaka biaku ayi luvovomo mu zinzo ziaku zinneni.

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

Mu diambu di bakhomba ziama ayi bakundi bama ndiela tuba “bika ndembama yiba yaku”.

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

Mu diambu di nzo Yave, Nzambi eto, ndiela tomba mamboti maku.
