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.”

Se yon chante David pou yo chante lè y'ap moute lavil Jerizalèm. Ala kontan mwen te kontan lè yo di m': -Ann ale lakay Seyè a.

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

Koulye a, men li: nou rive devan pòtay lavil Jerizalèm.

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

Jerizalèm, ou se yon lavil yo rebati, yon lavil kote tout bagay byen ranje.

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

Se la tout branch fanmi yo ap vin sanble. Tout branch fanmi pèp Seyè a, se la y'ap vini pou di Seyè a mèsi, jan li te ba yo lòd pou yo fè a.

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

Se la pitit pitit David yo rete pou yo dirije, pou yo gouvènen pep la.

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

Lapriyè Bondye pou pa gen dezòd lavil Jerizalèm ankò. Se pou tout moun ki renmen ou yo viv ak kè poze.

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

Se pou pa gen lagè sou ranpa lavil la. Se pou nan palè wa a tout moun viv ak kè poze.

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

Poutèt fanmi m' yo ak zanmi m' yo, m'ap di: -Benediksyon Bondye sou lavil la!

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

Poutèt kay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki nan lavil la, m'ap mande Bondye pou fè kè ou kontan.
