Psalms 122

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

Thaburi ya Daudi Nĩndakenire hamwe na arĩa maanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ nyũmba ya Jehova.”

2 Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

Magũrũ maitũ marũgamĩte ihingo-inĩ ciaku, wee Jerusalemu.

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

Jerusalemu rĩakĩtwo ta itũũra inene rĩnyitithanĩtio wega.

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.

Kũu nĩkuo mĩhĩrĩga yambataga, o yo mĩhĩrĩga ya Jehova, ĩgathiĩ kũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova kũringana na mawatho marĩa aheete Isiraeli.

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

Kũu nĩkuo kũigĩtwo itĩ cia ũnene cia atuanĩri ciira, o cio itĩ cia ũnene cia nyũmba ya Daudi.

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

Hoerai Jerusalemu thayũ: “Arĩa makwendete marotũũra na thayũ.

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

Kũrĩa thingo ciaku ciirigĩire kũrogĩa na thayũ, naguo ũgitĩri ũgĩe ciikaro-inĩ ciaku cia ũthamaki.”

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

Nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a baba na arata, nguuga atĩrĩ, “Thayũ ũrogĩa thĩinĩ waku.”

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

Nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai witũ, caragia ũgaacĩru waku.
