Psalms 122

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to YHWH'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 JAH, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of YHWH.

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 YHWH our God, I will seek your good.

Chifukwa cha Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wathu, ndidzakufunira zabwino.
