< 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!”
Nilifurahi waliponiambia, “Na twende kwenye Nyumba ya Yahwe.”
2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!
Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama ndani ya malango yako!
3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,
Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!
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.
Makabila huenda juu Yerusalemu, makabila ya Yahwe; kama ushuhuda wa Israeli, kulishukuru jina la Yahwe.
5 For there are set thrones for judgement, the thrones of David’s house.
Huko viliwekwa viti vya hukumu, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
Ombeni kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu! “Wote wakupendao wawe na amani.
7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
Amani iwepo ndani ya kuta zako ili ikutetee, na wawe na amani ndani ya ngome zako.”
8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na rafiki zangu nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yenu.”
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
Kwa ajili ya Yahwe Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mema kwa ajili yako.
