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!

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia, “Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”

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

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

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

Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

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

Huko ndiko makabila hukwea, makabila ya Bwana, kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo waliopewa Israeli.

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

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

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

Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu: “Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.

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

Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki, nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mafanikio yako.
