< 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.'
Nilifurahi waliponiambia, “Na twende kwenye Nyumba ya Yahwe.”
2 Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!
Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama ndani ya malango yako!
3 Jerusalem — the builded one — [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!
4 For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
Makabila huenda juu Yerusalemu, makabila ya Yahwe; kama ushuhuda wa Israeli, kulishukuru jina la Yahwe.
5 For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.
Huko viliwekwa viti vya hukumu, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.
6 Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.
Ombeni kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu! “Wote wakupendao wawe na amani.
7 Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,
Amani iwepo ndani ya kuta zako ili ikutetee, na wawe na amani ndani ya ngome zako.”
8 For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, 'Peace [be] in thee.'
Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na rafiki zangu nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yenu.”
9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
Kwa ajili ya Yahwe Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mema kwa ajili yako.
