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.”

Thaburi ya Daudi Nĩndakenire hamwe na arĩa maanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ nyũmba ya Jehova.”

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

Magũrũ maitũ marũgamĩte ihingo-inĩ ciaku, wee Jerusalemu.

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

Jerusalemu rĩakĩtwo ta itũũra inene rĩnyitithanĩtio wega.

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

Kũu nĩkuo mĩhĩrĩga yambataga, o yo mĩhĩrĩga ya Jehova, ĩgathiĩ kũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova kũringana na mawatho marĩa aheete Isiraeli.

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

Kũu nĩkuo kũigĩtwo itĩ cia ũnene cia atuanĩri ciira, o cio itĩ cia ũnene cia nyũmba ya Daudi.

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

Hoerai Jerusalemu thayũ: “Arĩa makwendete marotũũra na thayũ.

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

Kũrĩa thingo ciaku ciirigĩire kũrogĩa na thayũ, naguo ũgitĩri ũgĩe ciikaro-inĩ ciaku cia ũthamaki.”

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

Nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a baba na arata, nguuga atĩrĩ, “Thayũ ũrogĩa thĩinĩ waku.”

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

Nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai witũ, caragia ũgaacĩru waku.
