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!”

Abụ nrigo, nke Devid. Aṅụrịrị m ọṅụ mgbe ha sị m, “Ka anyị gaa nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.”

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

Ụkwụ anyị eguzola ugbu a nʼọnụ ụzọ ama gị niile, gị obodo Jerusalem.

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

E wuru Jerusalem dịka obodo a chịkọtara ọnụ nke ọma.

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.

Ọ bụ ebe ahụ ka ebo niile na-arịgo, bụ ebo niile nke Onyenwe anyị, ịbụku aha Onyenwe anyị abụ dịka iwu o nyere ndị Izrel si dị.

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

Nʼebe ahụ ka ocheeze niile nke ikpe ikpe dị, bụ ocheeze niile nke ezinaụlọ Devid.

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

Kpeenụ ekpere maka udo Jerusalem: “Ka ndị niile hụrụ gị nʼanya nọọ nʼudo.

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

Ka udo dịrị nʼime mgbidi gị niile nchekwa dịrịkwa nʼime ebe nche gị niile e wusiri ike.”

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

Nʼihi ụmụnne m na ndị enyi m, ana m ekwu okwu sị, “Udo dịrị gị.”

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

Nʼihi ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke anyị, aga m achọ ọganihu gị.
