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.”

Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA e im dawk cet awh sei telah, kai koe ati awh navah, ka lunghawi.

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

Oe Jerusalem, kaimae khok teh, nange takhang thungvah a kangdue han.

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

Jerusalem teh kacakpounglah sak e lah ao.

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

BAWIPA e miphunnaw teh hote kho dawk a cei awh katang. Isarelnaw e phung patetlah BAWIPA e a miphunnaw teh BAWIPA min pholen hanelah, BAWIPA min pholen nahanelah a ceitakhang awh.

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

Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koevah, bawitungkhungnaw, Devit imthung bawitungkhungnaw lawkceng nahanelah a hruek awh.

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

Jerusalem a roum nahanlah ratoum awh. Nang lungpataw naw teh a hmacawn awh naseh.

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

Nange rapannaw roumnae awmseh. Na impui hawinae coe awh naseh.

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

Ka hmaunawngha han hoi ka huikonaw hanelah, nang dawk roumnae awm seh telah ka dei han.

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

Maimae BAWIPA Cathut im hane dawkvah, nange hawinae hah ka tawng han.
