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.”

[Psalm lal David] Nga engan ke elos fahk nu sik, “Lela kut in som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD.”

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

Ac inge kut utyak tari Nu in kalkal lom, O Jerusalem!

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

Jerusalem, sie siti su sifil musaiyukla, Ac arulana naweyukla wo.

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.

Pa inge acn ma sruf uh tuku nu we, Sruf lun Israel, In sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD Fal nu ke ma El sapkin.

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

Pa inge acn se tokosra lun Israel Elos muta we in kol mwet lalos ke suwoswos.

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

Pre tu Jerusalem in misla: “Lela tu elos su lungse kom in kapkapak.

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

Lela tu in oasr misla in kalkal lom, A in wangin ma aklokoalokye inkul fulat we.”

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

Ke sripen mwet in sou luk a mwet kawuk luk Nga fahk nu sin Jerusalem, “Mutana in misla.”

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

Ke sripen lohm sin LEUM GOD lasr Nga pre tu in wo ouiyom.
