Psalms 122

1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

David ƒe mɔzɔha. Mekpɔ dzidzɔ kple ame siwo gblɔ nam be, “Mina míayi Yehowa ƒe aƒe me.”

2 Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

O! Yerusalem, míaƒe afɔwo le wò agbowo nu.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:

Wotso Yerusalem, eye nèle abe du si tsyia ɖe wo nɔewo nu ene.

4 Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

Afi ma to vovovoawo yina, Yehowa ƒe toawo, be woakafu Yehowa, le ɖoɖo si wòna Israel nu.

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

Afi ma woɖo ʋɔnudrɔ̃zikpuiwo ɖo, David ƒe aƒe la ƒe fiazikpuiwo.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.

Mido gbe ɖa, abia ŋutifafa na Yerusalem be, “Ame siwo lɔ̃ wò la nenɔ dedie.

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

Ŋutifafa nenɔ wò gliwo me kple dedinɔnɔ le wò fiasãwo me.”

8 For my brothers and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you.

Le nɔvinye ŋutsuwo kple xɔ̃nyewo ta, magblɔ be, “Ŋutifafa nenɔ mewò.”

9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.

Le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe aƒe la ta, madi dzidzedze na wò.
