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.”

Nkunga Davidi wuyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Khini ndimona bu bakhamba ti: “Bika tuendanu ku nzo Yave”.

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

Malu meto matelimini mu mielo miaku, a Yelusalemi.

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

Yelusalemi ditungu banga divula. Diodi dikangama ngolo va kimosi

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

Kuna kueti kuiza zimvila, zimvila Yave mu diambu di zitisa dizina di Yave boso buididi zinzengolo zivanu kuidi Iseli.

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

Bila kuna kutelimini bikundu bi kipfumu bi tsambusulu; bikundu bi kipfumu bi nzo yi Davidi.

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

Lusambila mu diambu di ndembama yi Yelusalemi. Bika bobo beti kuzola bamona luvovomo.

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

Bika ndembama yiba mu bibaka biaku ayi luvovomo mu zinzo ziaku zinneni.

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

Mu diambu di bakhomba ziama ayi bakundi bama ndiela tuba “bika ndembama yiba yaku”.

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

Mu diambu di nzo Yave, Nzambi eto, ndiela tomba mamboti maku.
