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.'

Nkunga Davidi wuyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Khini ndimona bu bakhamba ti: “Bika tuendanu ku nzo Yave”.

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

Malu meto matelimini mu mielo miaku, a Yelusalemi.

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

Yelusalemi ditungu banga divula. Diodi dikangama ngolo va kimosi

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.

Kuna kueti kuiza zimvila, zimvila Yave mu diambu di zitisa dizina di Yave boso buididi zinzengolo zivanu kuidi Iseli.

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

Bila kuna kutelimini bikundu bi kipfumu bi tsambusulu; bikundu bi kipfumu bi nzo yi Davidi.

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

Lusambila mu diambu di ndembama yi Yelusalemi. Bika bobo beti kuzola bamona luvovomo.

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

Bika ndembama yiba mu bibaka biaku ayi luvovomo mu zinzo ziaku zinneni.

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

Mu diambu di bakhomba ziama ayi bakundi bama ndiela tuba “bika ndembama yiba yaku”.

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

Mu diambu di nzo Yave, Nzambi eto, ndiela tomba mamboti maku.
