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.'

Thaburi ya Daudi Nĩndakenire hamwe na arĩa maanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ nyũmba ya Jehova.”

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

Magũrũ maitũ marũgamĩte ihingo-inĩ ciaku, wee Jerusalemu.

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

Jerusalemu rĩakĩtwo ta itũũra inene rĩnyitithanĩtio wega.

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

Kũu nĩkuo mĩhĩrĩga yambataga, o yo mĩhĩrĩga ya Jehova, ĩgathiĩ kũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova kũringana na mawatho marĩa aheete Isiraeli.

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

Kũu nĩkuo kũigĩtwo itĩ cia ũnene cia atuanĩri ciira, o cio itĩ cia ũnene cia nyũmba ya Daudi.

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

Hoerai Jerusalemu thayũ: “Arĩa makwendete marotũũra na thayũ.

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

Kũrĩa thingo ciaku ciirigĩire kũrogĩa na thayũ, naguo ũgitĩri ũgĩe ciikaro-inĩ ciaku cia ũthamaki.”

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

Nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a baba na arata, nguuga atĩrĩ, “Thayũ ũrogĩa thĩinĩ waku.”

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

Nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai witũ, caragia ũgaacĩru waku.
