Psalms 122

1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto 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 thy gates, O Jerusalem.

O! Yerusalem, míaƒe afɔwo le wò agbowo nu.

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

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

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto 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 thee.

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

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

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

8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace [be] within thee.

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

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

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