Psalms 122

1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

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

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Yaa Yerusaalem, miilli keenya karrawwan kee irra dhaabata.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:

Yerusaalem akka magaalaa walitti maxxantee gobbatte tokkootti ijaaramte.

4 Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

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

5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Teessoowwan murtii, teessoowwan mana Daawit achi dhaabatu.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

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

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

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

8 For my brethren and companions’ sake, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

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

9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

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