Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents. David’s. I was glad, when they were saying unto me, Unto the house of Yahweh, let us go!

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

2 Standing are our feet, within thy gates, O Jerusalem!

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

3 Jerusalem! that hath been builded, A true city, all joined together as one:

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

4 Whither have come up the tribes, The tribes of Yah, A testimony to Israel, To give thanks unto the Name of Yahweh:

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 For there are set—Thrones for justice, Thrones for the house David.

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

6 Ask ye for the peace of Jerusalem, They shall prosper, who love thee!

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

7 Peace be within thy walls, prosperity within thy 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, Oh, might I speak [saying], Peace be within thee!

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 Yahweh our God, will I seek blessing for thee.

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