Psalms 122

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

Nkunga Davidi wuyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Khini ndimona bu bakhamba ti: “Bika tuendanu ku nzo Yave”.

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

Malu meto matelimini mu mielo miaku, a Yelusalemi.

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

Yelusalemi ditungu banga divula. Diodi dikangama ngolo va kimosi

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.

Kuna kueti kuiza zimvila, zimvila Yave mu diambu di zitisa dizina di Yave boso buididi zinzengolo zivanu kuidi Iseli.

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

Bila kuna kutelimini bikundu bi kipfumu bi tsambusulu; bikundu bi kipfumu bi nzo yi Davidi.

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

Lusambila mu diambu di ndembama yi Yelusalemi. Bika bobo beti kuzola bamona luvovomo.

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

Bika ndembama yiba mu bibaka biaku ayi luvovomo mu zinzo ziaku zinneni.

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

Mu diambu di bakhomba ziama ayi bakundi bama ndiela tuba “bika ndembama yiba yaku”.

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

Mu diambu di nzo Yave, Nzambi eto, ndiela tomba mamboti maku.
