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.'

Wer ma ji wero kadhi e hekalu. Mar Daudi. Ne amor gi joma nowachona niya, “Wadhiuru e od Jehova Nyasaye.”

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

Tiendewa ochungʼ e dhorangeyeni, yaye Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem oger ka dala ma ji odakie machiegni motenore.

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

Kanyo e kama ogendini idho dhiye, ogendini mag Jehova Nyasaye dhi kuno, mondo opak nying Jehova Nyasaye ka giluwo chike mane omi Israel.

5 For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.

Kanyo ema kombe loch mag ngʼado bura nitie gin kombe loch mag jood Daudi.

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

Lamuru mondo Jerusalem obed gi kwe. Lamuru niya, “Mad joma oheri bed gi kwe.

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

Mad kwe yudre ei alworani, adier kwe mondo obedi ei ohinga mochieli.”

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

Nikech owetena gi osiepena modak e iyi, awacho niya, “Jerusalem mondo obed gi kwe.”

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

Nikech wach od Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, adwaro ni idhi maber.
