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.

Nkunga Davidi wuyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Khini ndimona bu bakhamba ti: “Bika tuendanu ku nzo Yave”.

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

Malu meto matelimini mu mielo miaku, a Yelusalemi.

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

Yelusalemi ditungu banga divula. Diodi dikangama ngolo va kimosi

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

Kuna kueti kuiza zimvila, zimvila Yave mu diambu di zitisa dizina di Yave boso buididi zinzengolo zivanu kuidi Iseli.

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

Bila kuna kutelimini bikundu bi kipfumu bi tsambusulu; bikundu bi kipfumu bi nzo yi Davidi.

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

Lusambila mu diambu di ndembama yi Yelusalemi. Bika bobo beti kuzola bamona luvovomo.

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

Bika ndembama yiba mu bibaka biaku ayi luvovomo mu zinzo ziaku zinneni.

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

Mu diambu di bakhomba ziama ayi bakundi bama ndiela tuba “bika ndembama yiba yaku”.

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

Mu diambu di nzo Yave, Nzambi eto, ndiela tomba mamboti maku.
