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.

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia, “Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”

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

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

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

Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

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

Huko ndiko makabila hukwea, makabila ya Bwana, kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo waliopewa Israeli.

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

Huko viti vya enzi vya hukumu hukaa, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.

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

Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu: “Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.

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

Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki, nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mafanikio yako.
