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.

Ɔsoroforɔ dwom. Dawid deɛ. Ɛberɛ a wɔsee me sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ Awurade fie” no, mʼani gyeeɛ.

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

Yɛgyinagyina wʼapono ano, Ao Yerusalem.

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

Wɔakyekyere Yerusalem yie sɛ kuropɔn. Wɔahyehyɛ mu nneɛma fɛfɛ.

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

Ɛhɔ na mmusuakuo no korɔ, Awurade mmusuakuo no. Wɔkɔkamfo Awurade din sɛdeɛ nhyehyɛeɛ a wɔde ama Israel no teɛ.

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

Ɛhɔ na atemmuo nhennwa no sisi, Dawid fie nhennwa no.

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

Monsrɛ asomdwoeɛ mma Yerusalem sɛ, “Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo no nnya banbɔ.

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

Ma asomdwoeɛ mmra wʼafasuo mu na banbɔ mmra wʼabankɛsewa mu.”

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

Me nuanom ne me nnamfonom enti, meka sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ ntena wo mu.”

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

Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn fie enti, mɛhwehwɛ wo nkɔsoɔ.
