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.

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia, “Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”

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

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

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

Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

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.

Huko ndiko makabila hukwea, makabila ya Bwana, kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo waliopewa Israeli.

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

Huko viti vya enzi vya hukumu hukaa, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.

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

Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu: “Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.

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

Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki, nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mafanikio yako.
