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.”

He waiata; he pikitanga. Na Rawiri. I koa ahau i ta ratou meatanga mai ki ahau; Tatou ka haere ki te whare o Ihowa.

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

E tu ana o matou waewae ki ou tatau, e Hiruharama:

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

Ko te hanganga o Hiruharama, rite tonu ki to te pa kua tuhonohonoa ki a ia ano.

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

Haereere ana ki reira nga iwi, nga iwi o Ihowa, ki to Iharaira whakaaturanga, ki te whakawhetai ki te ingoa o Ihowa.

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

Kua whakaturia hoki ki reira nga torona whakawa, nga torona o te whare o Rawiri.

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

Inoia he ata noho mo Hiruharama: ka whiwhi ki te pai te hunga e aroha ana ki a koe.

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

Kia mau te rongo ki ou taiepa, me te pai ki ou whare kingi.

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

He mea mo oku teina, mo oku hoa, taku e mea nei, Kia mau te rongo ki roto ki a koe.

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

He whakaaro ki te whare o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua, ka rapu ahau i te pai mou.
