Psalms 122

1 A song of ascents, of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”

Faarfannaa Ol baʼuu. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yommuu isaan, “Kottu gara mana Waaqayyoo dhaqnaa” naan jedhanitti, ani nan gammade.

2 Jerusalem, our feet are standing within your gates!

Yaa Yerusaalem, miilli keenya karrawwan kee irra dhaabata.

3 Jerusalem, built as a city carefully planned!

Yerusaalem akka magaalaa walitti maxxantee gobbatte tokkootti ijaaramte.

4 The tribes go up to Jerusalem—the tribes of Yahweh— as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

Kunis iddoo gosoonni, gosoonni Waaqayyo, akka sirna Israaʼeliif kenname sanaatti, maqaa Waaqayyoo galateeffachuuf itti ol baʼanii dha.

5 There thrones of judgment were set, thrones of the house of David.

Teessoowwan murtii, teessoowwan mana Daawit achi dhaabatu.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May those who love you have peace.

Akkana jedhaa nagaa Yerusaalemiif kadhadhaa: “Warri si jaallatan nagaan haa jiraatan.

7 May there be peace within the walls that defend you, and may they have peace within your fortresses.”

Dallaa kee keessa nagaan, masaraa mootummaa keetii keessa immoo tasgabbiin haa jiraatu.”

8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends I will say, “May there be peace within you.”

Ani obboloota kootii fi michoota kootiif jedhee, “Nagaan si keessa haa jiraatu” nan jedha.

9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek good for you.

Mana Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaatiif jedhee, ani akka wanni gaariin siif taʼu nan hawwa.
