Psalms 122

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

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

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

Malu meto matelimini mu mielo miaku, a Yelusalemi.

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

Yelusalemi ditungu banga divula. Diodi dikangama ngolo va kimosi

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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