Psalms 122

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

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 are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 For my brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now say, "Peace be within 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 Jehovah our God, I will seek your good.

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