Psalms 122

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.

Ngathokoza lapho besithi kimi: Kasiye endlini yeNkosi.

2 Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

Inyawo zethu zimi emasangweni akho, Jerusalema.

3 Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:

IJerusalema yakhiwe njengomuzi ohlangeneyo ngokwawo,

4 Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.

lapho izizwe ezenyukela khona, izizwe zeNkosi, kubufakazi bukaIsrayeli, ukuze zibonge ibizo leNkosi.

5 For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.

Ngoba kumiswe khona izihlalo zobukhosi zesahlulelo, izihlalo zobukhosi zendlu kaDavida.

6 Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.

Khulekelani ukuthula kweJerusalema; bazaphumelela abakuthandayo.

7 Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.

Kakube khona ukuthula phakathi kwemiduli yakho, inhlalakahle ezigodlweni zakho.

8 For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.

Ngenxa yabafowethu labangane bami sengizakuthi: Ukuthula kakube phakathi kwakho.

9 Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.

Ngenxa yendlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ngizakudingela okuhle.
