Psalms 122

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

David ƒe mɔzɔha. Mekpɔ dzidzɔ kple ame siwo gblɔ nam be, “Mina míayi Yehowa ƒe aƒe me.”

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

O! Yerusalem, míaƒe afɔwo le wò agbowo nu.

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

Wotso Yerusalem, eye nèle abe du si tsyia ɖe wo nɔewo nu ene.

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

Afi ma to vovovoawo yina, Yehowa ƒe toawo, be woakafu Yehowa, le ɖoɖo si wòna Israel nu.

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

Afi ma woɖo ʋɔnudrɔ̃zikpuiwo ɖo, David ƒe aƒe la ƒe fiazikpuiwo.

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

Mido gbe ɖa, abia ŋutifafa na Yerusalem be, “Ame siwo lɔ̃ wò la nenɔ dedie.

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

Ŋutifafa nenɔ wò gliwo me kple dedinɔnɔ le wò fiasãwo me.”

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

Le nɔvinye ŋutsuwo kple xɔ̃nyewo ta, magblɔ be, “Ŋutifafa nenɔ mewò.”

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

Le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe aƒe la ta, madi dzidzedze na wò.
