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.”

O LIOLI aku la au, ia lakou i olelo mai ai ia'u, E hele kakou iloko o ka hale o Iehova.

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

E ku no ko kakou mau wawae, Maloko o kou mau pukapa, e Ierusalema.

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

Ua hoonohonohoia o Ierusalema, E like me ke kulanakauhale i kapiliia.

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

Pii aku no na ohana malaila, Na ohana hoi o Iehova, me kana i kauoha ai i ka Iseraela, E hoolea aku i ka inoa o Iehova.

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

No ka mea, ua hoonohoia malaila na nohoalii no ka hoopono, Na nohoalii no ka ohana a Davida.

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

E noi aku oukou i maluhia o Ierusalema; E pomaikai auanei ka poe e aloha aku ia oe.

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

I noho ka maluhia iloko o kou mau pa, A me ka pomaikai iloko o kou halealii.

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

No ko'u poe hoahanau, a no ko'u poe makamaka, E olelo aku no wau, ano la, i maluhia maloko ou.

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

No ka hale o Iehova, o ko kakou Akua, E imi aku no wau, i ka pono nou.
