< 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!”
Ɔsoroforo dwom. Dawid de. Me ne wɔn a wosee me sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ Awurade fi” no ani gyei.
2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!
Yegyinagyina wʼaponkɛse ano, Yerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,
Wɔakyekyere Yerusalem yiye sɛ kuropɔn wahyehyɛ mu nneɛma fɛfɛ.
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.
Ɛhɔ na mmusuakuw no kɔ, Awurade mmusuakuw no, Wɔkɔkamfo Awurade din, sɛnea nhyehyɛe a wɔde ama Israel no te.
5 For there are set thrones for judgement, the thrones of David’s house.
Ɛhɔ na atemmu nhengua no sisi, Dawid fi nhengua no.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
Monsrɛ asomdwoe mma Yerusalem se, “Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo no nnya bammɔ.
7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
Ma asomdwoe mmra wʼafasu mu na bammɔ mmra wʼaban mu.”
8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
Me nuanom ne me nnamfonom nti, mɛka se, “Asomdwoe ntena wo mu.”
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn fi nti, mɛhwehwɛ wo yiyeyɛ.
