< Psalms 122 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”
Bawipa a im na cet u sih,” tinawh amik kqawn law awh zeel soeih nyng.
2 Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!
Aw Jerusalem, kaimih a khaw khqi ve vawng chawmkeng awh dyi hawh uhy.
3 Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
Jerusalem taw khawk bau ak zoei cana ami sak amyihna sak na awm hy.
4 For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.
Israel a venawh cuk kiknaak awipeek peek na a awm amyihna, Bawipang ming kyihcah ham, cawh ce thlang pilnamkhqi, Bawipa a pilnam khqi hang cet uhy.
5 For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.
Cawh ce awidengnaak boei ngawihdoelh khqi, David ipkhui awhkaw boei ngawihdoelh khqi awm hy.
6 Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.
Jerusalem ngaihqepnaak aham cykcah lah uh: “Nang anik lungnaak thlangkhqi ce qalmawng na awm u seh.
7 Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,
Na vawng khuiawh ngaihqepnaak awm seitaw, na boei awmnaak im kqang ngaihqepnaak awm seh.”
8 For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”
Ka koeinaa ingkaw pyikhqi awh, “Nang ak khuiawh ngaihqepnaak awm seh,” ti kawng nyng.
9 For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!
Bawipa ningnih Khawsa im awh, nang a boeimangnaak ce sui kawng nyng.
