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.”

人われにむかひて率ヱホバのいへにゆかんといへるとき我よろこべり

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

ヱルサレムよわれらの足はなんぢの門のうちにたてり

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

ヱルサレムよなんぢは稠くつらなりたる邑のごとく固くたてり

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

もろもろのやから即ちヤハの支派かしこに上りきたり イスラエルにむかひて證詞をなし またヱホバの名にかんしやをなす

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

彼處にさばきの寳座まうけらる これダビデの家のみくらなり

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

ヱルサレムのために平安をいのれ ヱルサレムを愛するものは榮ゆべし

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

ねがはくはなんぢの石垣のうちに平安あり なんぢの諸殿のうちに福祉あらんことを

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

わが兄弟のためわが侶のために われ今なんぢのなかに平安あれといはん

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

われらの神ヱホバのいへのために我なんぢの福祉をもとめん
