Psalms 122

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

Ɔsoroforo dwom. Dawid de. Me ne wɔn a wosee me sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ Awurade fi” no ani gyei.

2 Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

Yegyinagyina wʼaponkɛse ano, Yerusalem.

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

Wɔakyekyere Yerusalem yiye sɛ kuropɔn wahyehyɛ mu nneɛma fɛfɛ.

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.

Ɛhɔ na mmusuakuw no kɔ, Awurade mmusuakuw no, Wɔkɔkamfo Awurade din, sɛnea nhyehyɛe a wɔde ama Israel no te.

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

Ɛhɔ na atemmu nhengua no sisi, Dawid fi nhengua no.

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

Monsrɛ asomdwoe mma Yerusalem se, “Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo no nnya bammɔ.

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

Ma asomdwoe mmra wʼafasu mu na bammɔ mmra wʼaban mu.”

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

Me nuanom ne me nnamfonom nti, mɛka se, “Asomdwoe ntena wo mu.”

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

Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn fi nti, mɛhwehwɛ wo yiyeyɛ.
