Psalms 122

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to the LORD's house."

Se yon chante David pou yo chante lè y'ap moute lavil Jerizalèm. Ala kontan mwen te kontan lè yo di m': -Ann ale lakay Seyè a.

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

Koulye a, men li: nou rive devan pòtay lavil Jerizalèm.

3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is joined together;

Jerizalèm, ou se yon lavil yo rebati, yon lavil kote tout bagay byen ranje.

4 where the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

Se la tout branch fanmi yo ap vin sanble. Tout branch fanmi pèp Seyè a, se la y'ap vini pou di Seyè a mèsi, jan li te ba yo lòd pou yo fè a.

5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David's house.

Se la pitit pitit David yo rete pou yo dirije, pou yo gouvènen pep la.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

Lapriyè Bondye pou pa gen dezòd lavil Jerizalèm ankò. Se pou tout moun ki renmen ou yo viv ak kè poze.

7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

Se pou pa gen lagè sou ranpa lavil la. Se pou nan palè wa a tout moun viv ak kè poze.

8 For my brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now say, "Peace be within you."

Poutèt fanmi m' yo ak zanmi m' yo, m'ap di: -Benediksyon Bondye sou lavil la!

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.

Poutèt kay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki nan lavil la, m'ap mande Bondye pou fè kè ou kontan.
