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!

Nkunga Davidi wuyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Khini ndimona bu bakhamba ti: “Bika tuendanu ku nzo Yave”.

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

Malu meto matelimini mu mielo miaku, a Yelusalemi.

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

Yelusalemi ditungu banga divula. Diodi dikangama ngolo va kimosi

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

Kuna kueti kuiza zimvila, zimvila Yave mu diambu di zitisa dizina di Yave boso buididi zinzengolo zivanu kuidi Iseli.

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

Bila kuna kutelimini bikundu bi kipfumu bi tsambusulu; bikundu bi kipfumu bi nzo yi Davidi.

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

Lusambila mu diambu di ndembama yi Yelusalemi. Bika bobo beti kuzola bamona luvovomo.

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

Bika ndembama yiba mu bibaka biaku ayi luvovomo mu zinzo ziaku zinneni.

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

Mu diambu di bakhomba ziama ayi bakundi bama ndiela tuba “bika ndembama yiba yaku”.

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

Mu diambu di nzo Yave, Nzambi eto, ndiela tomba mamboti maku.
