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!”

O LIOLI aku la au, ia lakou i olelo mai ai ia'u, E hele kakou iloko o ka hale o Iehova.

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

E ku no ko kakou mau wawae, Maloko o kou mau pukapa, e Ierusalema.

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

Ua hoonohonohoia o Ierusalema, E like me ke kulanakauhale i kapiliia.

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.

Pii aku no na ohana malaila, Na ohana hoi o Iehova, me kana i kauoha ai i ka Iseraela, E hoolea aku i ka inoa o Iehova.

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

No ka mea, ua hoonohoia malaila na nohoalii no ka hoopono, Na nohoalii no ka ohana a Davida.

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

E noi aku oukou i maluhia o Ierusalema; E pomaikai auanei ka poe e aloha aku ia oe.

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

I noho ka maluhia iloko o kou mau pa, A me ka pomaikai iloko o kou halealii.

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

No ko'u poe hoahanau, a no ko'u poe makamaka, E olelo aku no wau, ano la, i maluhia maloko ou.

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

No ka hale o Iehova, o ko kakou Akua, E imi aku no wau, i ka pono nou.
