Psalms 122

1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” I was glad when they said to me, Let us go up to the house of the LORD!

Rwiyo rworwendo rwaDhavhidhi. Ndakafara pavakati kwandiri, “Handei kumba yaJehovha.”

2 Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem!

Tsoka dzedu dzimire mukati mamasuo ako, iwe Jerusarema.

3 Jerusalem, the rebuilt city! The city that is joined together!

Jerusarema rakavakwa seguta rakapakata kwazvo.

4 Thither the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, according to the law of Israel, To praise the name of the LORD.

Ndiko kunokwira marudzi, iwo marudzi aJehovha, kundorumbidza zita raJehovha maererano nezvakatemerwa Israeri.

5 There stand the thrones of judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

Zvigaro zvokutonga zvimire ikoko, zvigaro zvoushe zveimba yaDhavhidhi.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they prosper who love thee!

Nyengetererai rugare rweJerusarema: “Vanokuda dai vagara zvakanaka.

7 Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces!

Dai mukati mamasvingo ako maita rugare, nokuchengetedzeka mukati menhare dzako.”

8 For my brethren and companions' sake will I say, Peace be within thee!

Nokuda kwehama neshamwari dzangu, ndichati, “Rugare ngaruve mukati mako.”

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD, our God, Will I seek thy good!

Nokuda kweimba yaJehovha Mwari wedu, ndichatsvaka kubudirira kwako.
