< 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.
Nkunga Davidi wuyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Khini ndimona bu bakhamba ti: “Bika tuendanu ku nzo Yave”.
2 Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.
Malu meto matelimini mu mielo miaku, a Yelusalemi.
3 Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:
Yelusalemi ditungu banga divula. Diodi dikangama ngolo va kimosi
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.
Kuna kueti kuiza zimvila, zimvila Yave mu diambu di zitisa dizina di Yave boso buididi zinzengolo zivanu kuidi Iseli.
5 For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.
Bila kuna kutelimini bikundu bi kipfumu bi tsambusulu; bikundu bi kipfumu bi nzo yi Davidi.
6 Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.
Lusambila mu diambu di ndembama yi Yelusalemi. Bika bobo beti kuzola bamona luvovomo.
7 Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.
Bika ndembama yiba mu bibaka biaku ayi luvovomo mu zinzo ziaku zinneni.
8 For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.
Mu diambu di bakhomba ziama ayi bakundi bama ndiela tuba “bika ndembama yiba yaku”.
9 Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.
Mu diambu di nzo Yave, Nzambi eto, ndiela tomba mamboti maku.
