Psalms 122

1 A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, ‘We will go to the house of the Lord.’

O LIOLI aku la au, ia lakou i olelo mai ai ia'u, E hele kakou iloko o ka hale o Iehova.

2 Now we are standing, within your gates, O Jerusalem.

E ku no ko kakou mau wawae, Maloko o kou mau pukapa, e Ierusalema.

3 O Jerusalem, built close-packed, like a city without breach or gap,

Ua hoonohonohoia o Ierusalema, E like me ke kulanakauhale i kapiliia.

4 to you do the tribes come, the tribes of the Lord, as the law has ordained for Israel, there to give thanks to the Lord.

Pii aku no na ohana malaila, Na ohana hoi o Iehova, me kana i kauoha ai i ka Iseraela, E hoolea aku i ka inoa o Iehova.

5 There once stood thrones of justice even thrones of the household of David.

No ka mea, ua hoonohoia malaila na nohoalii no ka hoopono, Na nohoalii no ka ohana a Davida.

6 Pray that all may be well with Jerusalem, and well with those who love you,

E noi aku oukou i maluhia o Ierusalema; E pomaikai auanei ka poe e aloha aku ia oe.

7 well within your ramparts, and well within your palaces.

I noho ka maluhia iloko o kou mau pa, A me ka pomaikai iloko o kou halealii.

8 For the sake of my brethren and friends, I will wish you now prosperity:

No ko'u poe hoahanau, a no ko'u poe makamaka, E olelo aku no wau, ano la, i maluhia maloko ou.

9 for the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.

No ka hale o Iehova, o ko kakou Akua, E imi aku no wau, i ka pono nou.
