Psalms 122

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

Yon Sòm pou monte vè tanp lan. Yon Sòm David. Mwen te kontan lè yo te di mwen, “Annou ale lakay SENYÈ a.”

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

Pye nou kanpe anndan pòtay ou yo, O Jérusalem!

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

Jérusalem, ki bati kon yon vil ki kole dyanm ansanm,

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

sou (sila) tribi yo konn monte, menm tribi a SENYÈ yo, yon òdonans pou Israël, pou bay remèsiman a non SENYÈ a.

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

Paske la, twòn yo te plase pou jijman, twòn lakay David yo.

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

Priye pou lapè Jérusalem. (Sila) ki renmen ou yo va pwospere.

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

Ke lapè kapab anndan miray ou yo, e pwosperite nan palè ou yo.

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

Pou koz a frè m yo ak zanmi mwen yo, m ap di koulye a, “Ke lapè anndan ou”.

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

Pou koz a kay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mwen va chache byen ou.
