Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'

Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Lwa Dawudi. Nasanyuka bwe baŋŋamba nti, “Tugende mu nnyumba ya Mukama!”

2 Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

Ebigere byaffe biyimiridde mu miryango gyo, Ayi Yerusaalemi.

3 Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;

Yerusaalemi yazimbibwa okuba ekibuga ekinywevu ekiyimiridde awamu.

4 Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

Eyo ebika byonna gye biraga, ebika bya Mukama, okutendereza erinnya lya Mukama ng’ebiragiro ebyaweebwa Isirayiri bwe biri.

5 For there were set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Eyo entebe ez’okusalirako emisango gye zaateekebwa; z’entebe ez’obwakabaka ez’ennyumba ya Dawudi.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee.

Musabirenga Yerusaalemi emirembe: “Abo abakwagala bafune ebirungi.

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

Emirembe gibeerenga munda w’ebisenge byo; n’amayumba go amanene gabeerenga n’omukisa era nga manywevu.”

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say: 'Peace be within thee.'

Olwa baganda bange ne mikwano gyange nnaayogeranga nti, “Emirembe gibeerenga mu ggwe.”

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

Olw’obulungi bw’ennyumba ya Mukama Katonda waffe, nnaanoonyanga okukulaakulana kwa Yerusaalemi.
