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.”

David ih kasang laa. Angraeng im ah caeh o si, tiah ang thuih o naah, anghoehaih ka tawnh.

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

Aw Jerusalem, kaicae ih khoknawk loe na khongkha thungah angdoet boeh.

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

Jerusalem, nang loe kacakah sak ih, kranghoih vangpui ah na oh!

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.

Acaeng kaminawk loe caeh o tahang moe, Israelnawk mah thuih ih baktih toengah, Angraeng ih acaengnawk loe Angraeng ih ahmin pakoeh hanah caeh o tahang.

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

To ah lokcaekhaih angraeng tangkhangnawk hoi David im ih angraeng tangkhangnawk to oh.

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

Jerusalem monghaih tawnh hanah lawkthui oh; nang palung kaminawk loe khosak hoih o nasoe.

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

Na sipae thungah monghaih to om nasoe loe, na angraenghaih imthung ah khosak hoihaih om nasoe.

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

Kam nawkamya hoi ampuinawk pongah, na thungah monghaih om nasoe, tiah ka thuih han.

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

Aicae Angraeng Sithaw ih im pongah, na hoihaih to ka pakrong han.
