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."

Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndinakondwera atandiwuza kuti, “Tiyeni ku nyumba ya Yehova.”

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

Mapazi athu akuyima mʼzipata zako, Iwe Yerusalemu.

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

Yerusalemu anamangidwa ngati mzinda umene uli wothithikana pamodzi.

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.

Kumeneko ndiye kumene kumapita mafuko, mafuko a Yehova, umboni wa kwa Israeli, kuti atamande dzina la Yehova.

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

Kumeneko anayikako mipando yaufumu yachiweruzo, mipando yaufumu ya nyumba ya Davide.

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

Pemphererani mtendere wa Yerusalemu: “Iwo amene amakukonda iwe zinthu ziwayendere bwino.

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

Mukhale mtendere mʼkati mwa makoma ako, ndipo mʼnyumba zako zaufumu mukhale chitetezo.”

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

Chifukwa cha abale anga ndi abwenzi anga ndidzati, “Mtendere ukhale mʼkati mwako.”

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

Chifukwa cha Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wathu, ndidzakufunira zabwino.
