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.”

Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Mar Daudi. Ne amor gi joma nowachona niya, “Wadhiuru e od Jehova Nyasaye.”

2 Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

Tiendewa ochungʼ e dhorangeyeni, yaye Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

Jerusalem oger ka dala ma ji odakie machiegni motenore.

4 For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

Kanyo e kama ogendini idho dhiye, ogendini mag Jehova Nyasaye dhi kuno, mondo opak nying Jehova Nyasaye ka giluwo chike mane omi Israel.

5 For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.

Kanyo ema kombe loch mag ngʼado bura nitie gin kombe loch mag jood Daudi.

6 Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.

Lamuru mondo Jerusalem obed gi kwe. Lamuru niya, “Mad joma oheri bed gi kwe.

7 Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

Mad kwe yudre ei alworani, adier kwe mondo obedi ei ohinga mochieli.”

8 For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

Nikech owetena gi osiepena modak e iyi, awacho niya, “Jerusalem mondo obed gi kwe.”

9 For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!

Nikech wach od Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, adwaro ni idhi maber.
