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.

Nilifurahi waliponiambia, “Na twende kwenye Nyumba ya Yahwe.”

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

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama ndani ya malango yako!

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

Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!

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.

Makabila huenda juu Yerusalemu, makabila ya Yahwe; kama ushuhuda wa Israeli, kulishukuru jina la Yahwe.

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

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

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

Ombeni kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu! “Wote wakupendao wawe na amani.

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

Amani iwepo ndani ya kuta zako ili ikutetee, na wawe na amani ndani ya ngome zako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na rafiki zangu nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yenu.”

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

Kwa ajili ya Yahwe Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mema kwa ajili yako.
