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!

Abụ nrigo, nke Devid. Aṅụrịrị m ọṅụ mgbe ha sị m, “Ka anyị gaa nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.”

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

Ụkwụ anyị eguzola ugbu a nʼọnụ ụzọ ama gị niile, gị obodo Jerusalem.

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

E wuru Jerusalem dịka obodo a chịkọtara ọnụ nke ọma.

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

Ọ bụ ebe ahụ ka ebo niile na-arịgo, bụ ebo niile nke Onyenwe anyị, ịbụku aha Onyenwe anyị abụ dịka iwu o nyere ndị Izrel si dị.

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

Nʼebe ahụ ka ocheeze niile nke ikpe ikpe dị, bụ ocheeze niile nke ezinaụlọ Devid.

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

Kpeenụ ekpere maka udo Jerusalem: “Ka ndị niile hụrụ gị nʼanya nọọ nʼudo.

7 Peace be within thy walls, prosperity within thy palaces:

Ka udo dịrị nʼime mgbidi gị niile nchekwa dịrịkwa nʼime ebe nche gị niile e wusiri ike.”

8 For the sake of my brethren and friends, Oh, might I speak [saying], Peace be within thee!

Nʼihi ụmụnne m na ndị enyi m, ana m ekwu okwu sị, “Udo dịrị gị.”

9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, will I seek blessing for thee.

Nʼihi ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke anyị, aga m achọ ọganihu gị.
