Psalms 122

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, 'To the house of Jehovah we go.'

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

2 Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!

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

3 Jerusalem — the builded one — [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

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

4 For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

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 have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.

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

6 Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.

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

7 Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,

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

8 For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, 'Peace [be] in thee.'

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

9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!

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