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.”

Nkunga Davidi wuyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Khini ndimona bu bakhamba ti: “Bika tuendanu ku nzo Yave”.

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

Malu meto matelimini mu mielo miaku, a Yelusalemi.

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

Yelusalemi ditungu banga divula. Diodi dikangama ngolo va kimosi

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

Kuna kueti kuiza zimvila, zimvila Yave mu diambu di zitisa dizina di Yave boso buididi zinzengolo zivanu kuidi Iseli.

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

Bila kuna kutelimini bikundu bi kipfumu bi tsambusulu; bikundu bi kipfumu bi nzo yi Davidi.

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

Lusambila mu diambu di ndembama yi Yelusalemi. Bika bobo beti kuzola bamona luvovomo.

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

Bika ndembama yiba mu bibaka biaku ayi luvovomo mu zinzo ziaku zinneni.

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

Mu diambu di bakhomba ziama ayi bakundi bama ndiela tuba “bika ndembama yiba yaku”.

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

Mu diambu di nzo Yave, Nzambi eto, ndiela tomba mamboti maku.
