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.”

Thaburi ya Daudi Nĩndakenire hamwe na arĩa maanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ nyũmba ya Jehova.”

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

Magũrũ maitũ marũgamĩte ihingo-inĩ ciaku, wee Jerusalemu.

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

Jerusalemu rĩakĩtwo ta itũũra inene rĩnyitithanĩtio wega.

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

Kũu nĩkuo mĩhĩrĩga yambataga, o yo mĩhĩrĩga ya Jehova, ĩgathiĩ kũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova kũringana na mawatho marĩa aheete Isiraeli.

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

Kũu nĩkuo kũigĩtwo itĩ cia ũnene cia atuanĩri ciira, o cio itĩ cia ũnene cia nyũmba ya Daudi.

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

Hoerai Jerusalemu thayũ: “Arĩa makwendete marotũũra na thayũ.

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

Kũrĩa thingo ciaku ciirigĩire kũrogĩa na thayũ, naguo ũgitĩri ũgĩe ciikaro-inĩ ciaku cia ũthamaki.”

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

Nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a baba na arata, nguuga atĩrĩ, “Thayũ ũrogĩa thĩinĩ waku.”

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

Nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai witũ, caragia ũgaacĩru waku.
