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.”

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia, “Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”

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

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

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

Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

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

Huko ndiko makabila hukwea, makabila ya Bwana, kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo waliopewa Israeli.

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

Huko viti vya enzi vya hukumu hukaa, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.

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

Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu: “Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.

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

Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki, nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mafanikio yako.
