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.'

Se yon chante David pou yo chante lè y'ap moute lavil Jerizalèm. Ala kontan mwen te kontan lè yo di m': -Ann ale lakay Seyè a.

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

Koulye a, men li: nou rive devan pòtay lavil Jerizalèm.

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

Jerizalèm, ou se yon lavil yo rebati, yon lavil kote tout bagay byen ranje.

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

Se la tout branch fanmi yo ap vin sanble. Tout branch fanmi pèp Seyè a, se la y'ap vini pou di Seyè a mèsi, jan li te ba yo lòd pou yo fè a.

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

Se la pitit pitit David yo rete pou yo dirije, pou yo gouvènen pep la.

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

Lapriyè Bondye pou pa gen dezòd lavil Jerizalèm ankò. Se pou tout moun ki renmen ou yo viv ak kè poze.

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

Se pou pa gen lagè sou ranpa lavil la. Se pou nan palè wa a tout moun viv ak kè poze.

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

Poutèt fanmi m' yo ak zanmi m' yo, m'ap di: -Benediksyon Bondye sou lavil la!

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

Poutèt kay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki nan lavil la, m'ap mande Bondye pou fè kè ou kontan.
