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!

Oluyimba nga balinnya amadaala. Lwa Dawudi. Nasanyuka bwe baŋŋamba nti, “Tugende mu nnyumba ya Mukama!”

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

Ebigere byaffe biyimiridde mu miryango gyo, Ayi Yerusaalemi.

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

Yerusaalemi yazimbibwa okuba ekibuga ekinywevu ekiyimiridde awamu.

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

Eyo ebika byonna gye biraga, ebika bya Mukama, okutendereza erinnya lya Mukama ng’ebiragiro ebyaweebwa Isirayiri bwe biri.

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

Eyo entebe ez’okusalirako emisango gye zaateekebwa; z’entebe ez’obwakabaka ez’ennyumba ya Dawudi.

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

Musabirenga Yerusaalemi emirembe: “Abo abakwagala bafune ebirungi.

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

Emirembe gibeerenga munda w’ebisenge byo; n’amayumba go amanene gabeerenga n’omukisa era nga manywevu.”

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

Olwa baganda bange ne mikwano gyange nnaayogeranga nti, “Emirembe gibeerenga mu ggwe.”

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

Olw’obulungi bw’ennyumba ya Mukama Katonda waffe, nnaanoonyanga okukulaakulana kwa Yerusaalemi.
