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.

Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndinakondwera atandiwuza kuti, “Tiyeni ku nyumba ya Yehova.”

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

Mapazi athu akuyima mʼzipata zako, Iwe Yerusalemu.

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

Yerusalemu anamangidwa ngati mzinda umene uli wothithikana pamodzi.

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

Kumeneko ndiye kumene kumapita mafuko, mafuko a Yehova, umboni wa kwa Israeli, kuti atamande dzina la Yehova.

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

Kumeneko anayikako mipando yaufumu yachiweruzo, mipando yaufumu ya nyumba ya Davide.

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

Pemphererani mtendere wa Yerusalemu: “Iwo amene amakukonda iwe zinthu ziwayendere bwino.

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

Mukhale mtendere mʼkati mwa makoma ako, ndipo mʼnyumba zako zaufumu mukhale chitetezo.”

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

Chifukwa cha abale anga ndi abwenzi anga ndidzati, “Mtendere ukhale mʼkati mwako.”

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

Chifukwa cha Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wathu, ndidzakufunira zabwino.
