< 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.
Nilifurahi waliponiambia, “Na twende kwenye Nyumba ya Yahwe.”
2 Our feet are now standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem!
Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama ndani ya malango yako!
3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city wherein all associate together.
Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!
4 For thither go up the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
Makabila huenda juu Yerusalemu, makabila ya Yahwe; kama ushuhuda wa Israeli, kulishukuru jina la Yahwe.
5 For there are placed chairs for [giving] judgment, the chairs for the house of David.—
Huko viliwekwa viti vya hukumu, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.
6 Pray ye for the peace of Jerusalem; may those that love thee prosper.
Ombeni kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu! “Wote wakupendao wawe na amani.
7 May there be peace within thy walls, prosperity within thy palaces,
Amani iwepo ndani ya kuta zako ili ikutetee, na wawe na amani 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 rafiki zangu nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yenu.”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, will I seek thy good.
Kwa ajili ya Yahwe Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mema kwa ajili yako.
