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!”

Bawipa a im na cet u sih,” tinawh amik kqawn law awh zeel soeih nyng.

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

Aw Jerusalem, kaimih a khaw khqi ve vawng chawmkeng awh dyi hawh uhy.

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

Jerusalem taw khawk bau ak zoei cana ami sak amyihna sak na awm hy.

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.

Israel a venawh cuk kiknaak awipeek peek na a awm amyihna, Bawipang ming kyihcah ham, cawh ce thlang pilnamkhqi, Bawipa a pilnam khqi hang cet uhy.

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

Cawh ce awidengnaak boei ngawihdoelh khqi, David ipkhui awhkaw boei ngawihdoelh khqi awm hy.

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

Jerusalem ngaihqepnaak aham cykcah lah uh: “Nang anik lungnaak thlangkhqi ce qalmawng na awm u seh.

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

Na vawng khuiawh ngaihqepnaak awm seitaw, na boei awmnaak im kqang ngaihqepnaak awm seh.”

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

Ka koeinaa ingkaw pyikhqi awh, “Nang ak khuiawh ngaihqepnaak awm seh,” ti kawng nyng.

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

Bawipa ningnih Khawsa im awh, nang a boeimangnaak ce sui kawng nyng.
