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!”

David ih kasang laa. Angraeng im ah caeh o si, tiah ang thuih o naah, anghoehaih ka tawnh.

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

Aw Jerusalem, kaicae ih khoknawk loe na khongkha thungah angdoet boeh.

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

Jerusalem, nang loe kacakah sak ih, kranghoih vangpui ah na oh!

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.

Acaeng kaminawk loe caeh o tahang moe, Israelnawk mah thuih ih baktih toengah, Angraeng ih acaengnawk loe Angraeng ih ahmin pakoeh hanah caeh o tahang.

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

To ah lokcaekhaih angraeng tangkhangnawk hoi David im ih angraeng tangkhangnawk to oh.

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

Jerusalem monghaih tawnh hanah lawkthui oh; nang palung kaminawk loe khosak hoih o nasoe.

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

Na sipae thungah monghaih to om nasoe loe, na angraenghaih imthung ah khosak hoihaih om nasoe.

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

Kam nawkamya hoi ampuinawk pongah, na thungah monghaih om nasoe, tiah ka thuih han.

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

Aicae Angraeng Sithaw ih im pongah, na hoihaih to ka pakrong han.
