Psalms 122

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. I was so happy when they said to me, “Let's go the house of the Lord.”

David kah Tangtlaeng Laa Kai taengah, “BOEIPA im la cet uh sih,” a ti uh vaengah ka kohoe.

2 Now we're standing inside your gates, Jerusalem!

Jerusalem nang kah vongka ah kaimih kho loh pai uh tih om uh.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city where people can be together.

Jerusalem te khopuei la tun cingcui sak ham ni a thoong.

4 All the tribes—the tribes of the Lord—go up there, following the command given to Israel to give thanks to the Lord.

BOEIPA kah koca koca tah olphong bangla BOEIPA ming te uem ham Israel taengla pahoi cet uh.

5 This is where the thrones are placed, where judgment is given, the thrones of the house of David.

David im kah laitloeknah ngolkhoel ham ngolkhoel te pahoi a hol uh.

6 Pray that Jerusalem may be at peace. May everyone who loves Jerusalem be kept safe.

Jerusalem kah sadingnah hamla bih uh. Nang aka lungnah rhoek tah dingsuek saeh.

7 May there be peace within your walls, and safety within your fortresses.

Na rhalmahvong khuiah rhoepnah, na impuei khuiah ommongnah om saeh.

8 On behalf of my family and friends, I will now say, “May you be at peace.”

Ka manuca neh ka hui rhoek ham khaw, “Na khuiah rhoepnah om laeh saeh,” ka ti eh.

9 On behalf of the house of the Lord our God, I pray that everything goes well for you.

Mamih Pathen BOEIPA im ham ni nang kah hnothen khaw ka toem eh.
