Psalms 122

1 I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia, “Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”

2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

Huko ndiko makabila hukwea, makabila ya Bwana, kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo waliopewa Israeli.

5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

Huko viti vya enzi vya hukumu hukaa, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.

6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.

Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu: “Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.

7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.

Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”

8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki, nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.

Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mafanikio yako.
