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."

Nilifurahi waliponiambia, “Na twende kwenye Nyumba ya Yahwe.”

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama ndani ya malango yako!

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

Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!

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.

Makabila huenda juu Yerusalemu, makabila ya Yahwe; kama ushuhuda wa Israeli, kulishukuru jina la Yahwe.

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

Huko viliwekwa viti vya hukumu, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.

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

Ombeni kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu! “Wote wakupendao wawe na amani.

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

Amani iwepo ndani ya kuta zako ili ikutetee, na wawe na amani ndani ya ngome zako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na rafiki zangu nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yenu.”

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

Kwa ajili ya Yahwe Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mema kwa ajili yako.
