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.”

David ƒe mɔzɔha. Mekpɔ dzidzɔ kple ame siwo gblɔ nam be, “Mina míayi Yehowa ƒe aƒe me.”

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

O! Yerusalem, míaƒe afɔwo le wò agbowo nu.

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

Wotso Yerusalem, eye nèle abe du si tsyia ɖe wo nɔewo nu ene.

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

Afi ma to vovovoawo yina, Yehowa ƒe toawo, be woakafu Yehowa, le ɖoɖo si wòna Israel nu.

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

Afi ma woɖo ʋɔnudrɔ̃zikpuiwo ɖo, David ƒe aƒe la ƒe fiazikpuiwo.

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

Mido gbe ɖa, abia ŋutifafa na Yerusalem be, “Ame siwo lɔ̃ wò la nenɔ dedie.

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

Ŋutifafa nenɔ wò gliwo me kple dedinɔnɔ le wò fiasãwo me.”

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

Le nɔvinye ŋutsuwo kple xɔ̃nyewo ta, magblɔ be, “Ŋutifafa nenɔ mewò.”

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

Le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe aƒe la ta, madi dzidzedze na wò.
