Psalms 122

1 “A song of the degrees by David.” I was rejoiced when they said unto me, Unto the house of the Lord let us go.

Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Lwa Dawudi. Nasanyuka bwe baŋŋamba nti, “Tugende mu nnyumba ya Mukama!”

2 Our feet are now standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem!

Ebigere byaffe biyimiridde mu miryango gyo, Ayi Yerusaalemi.

3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city wherein all associate together.

Yerusaalemi yazimbibwa okuba ekibuga ekinywevu ekiyimiridde awamu.

4 For thither go up the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

Eyo ebika byonna gye biraga, ebika bya Mukama, okutendereza erinnya lya Mukama ng’ebiragiro ebyaweebwa Isirayiri bwe biri.

5 For there are placed chairs for [giving] judgment, the chairs for the house of David.—

Eyo entebe ez’okusalirako emisango gye zaateekebwa; z’entebe ez’obwakabaka ez’ennyumba ya Dawudi.

6 Pray ye for the peace of Jerusalem; may those that love thee prosper.

Musabirenga Yerusaalemi emirembe: “Abo abakwagala bafune ebirungi.

7 May there be peace within thy walls, prosperity within thy palaces,

Emirembe gibeerenga munda w’ebisenge byo; n’amayumba go amanene gabeerenga n’omukisa era nga manywevu.”

8 For the sake of my brethren and my friends, let me now speak, Peace be within thee.

Olwa baganda bange ne mikwano gyange nnaayogeranga nti, “Emirembe gibeerenga mu ggwe.”

9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, will I seek thy good.

Olw’obulungi bw’ennyumba ya Mukama Katonda waffe, nnaanoonyanga okukulaakulana kwa Yerusaalemi.
