Psalms 122

1 A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndinakondwera atandiwuza kuti, “Tiyeni ku nyumba ya Yehova.”

2 Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

Mapazi athu akuyima mʼzipata zako, Iwe Yerusalemu.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.

Yerusalemu anamangidwa ngati mzinda umene uli wothithikana pamodzi.

4 For there the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

Kumeneko ndiye kumene kumapita mafuko, mafuko a Yehova, umboni wa kwa Israeli, kuti atamande dzina la Yehova.

5 For there are set thrones for judgment, [even] thrones for the house of David.

Kumeneko anayikako mipando yaufumu yachiweruzo, mipando yaufumu ya nyumba ya Davide.

6 Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love you.

Pemphererani mtendere wa Yerusalemu: “Iwo amene amakukonda iwe zinthu ziwayendere bwino.

7 Let peace, I pray, be within your host, and prosperity in your palaces.

Mukhale mtendere mʼkati mwa makoma ako, ndipo mʼnyumba zako zaufumu mukhale chitetezo.”

8 For the sake of my brethren and my neighbors, I have indeed spoken peace concerning you.

Chifukwa cha abale anga ndi abwenzi anga ndidzati, “Mtendere ukhale mʼkati mwako.”

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought your good.

Chifukwa cha Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wathu, ndidzakufunira zabwino.
