Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”

Thaburi ya Daudi Nĩndakenire hamwe na arĩa maanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ nyũmba ya Jehova.”

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

Magũrũ maitũ marũgamĩte ihingo-inĩ ciaku, wee Jerusalemu.

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

Jerusalemu rĩakĩtwo ta itũũra inene rĩnyitithanĩtio wega.

4 where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.

Kũu nĩkuo mĩhĩrĩga yambataga, o yo mĩhĩrĩga ya Jehova, ĩgathiĩ kũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova kũringana na mawatho marĩa aheete Isiraeli.

5 For there are set thrones for judgement, the thrones of David’s house.

Kũu nĩkuo kũigĩtwo itĩ cia ũnene cia atuanĩri ciira, o cio itĩ cia ũnene cia nyũmba ya Daudi.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

Hoerai Jerusalemu thayũ: “Arĩa makwendete marotũũra na thayũ.

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

Kũrĩa thingo ciaku ciirigĩire kũrogĩa na thayũ, naguo ũgitĩri ũgĩe ciikaro-inĩ ciaku cia ũthamaki.”

8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

Nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a baba na arata, nguuga atĩrĩ, “Thayũ ũrogĩa thĩinĩ waku.”

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.

Nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai witũ, caragia ũgaacĩru waku.
