< Psalms 122 >
1 I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.
O LIOLI aku la au, ia lakou i olelo mai ai ia'u, E hele kakou iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
E ku no ko kakou mau wawae, Maloko o kou mau pukapa, e Ierusalema.
3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
Ua hoonohonohoia o Ierusalema, E like me ke kulanakauhale i kapiliia.
4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
Pii aku no na ohana malaila, Na ohana hoi o Iehova, me kana i kauoha ai i ka Iseraela, E hoolea aku i ka inoa o Iehova.
5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
No ka mea, ua hoonohoia malaila na nohoalii no ka hoopono, Na nohoalii no ka ohana a Davida.
6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.
E noi aku oukou i maluhia o Ierusalema; E pomaikai auanei ka poe e aloha aku ia oe.
7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.
I noho ka maluhia iloko o kou mau pa, A me ka pomaikai iloko o kou halealii.
8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.
No ko'u poe hoahanau, a no ko'u poe makamaka, E olelo aku no wau, ano la, i maluhia maloko ou.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
No ka hale o Iehova, o ko kakou Akua, E imi aku no wau, i ka pono nou.
