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.'

Ɔsoroforo dwom. Dawid de. Me ne wɔn a wosee me sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ Awurade fi” no ani gyei.

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

Yegyinagyina wʼaponkɛse ano, Yerusalem.

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

Wɔakyekyere Yerusalem yiye sɛ kuropɔn wahyehyɛ mu nneɛma fɛfɛ.

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

Ɛhɔ na mmusuakuw no kɔ, Awurade mmusuakuw no, Wɔkɔkamfo Awurade din, sɛnea nhyehyɛe a wɔde ama Israel no te.

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

Ɛhɔ na atemmu nhengua no sisi, Dawid fi nhengua no.

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

Monsrɛ asomdwoe mma Yerusalem se, “Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo no nnya bammɔ.

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

Ma asomdwoe mmra wʼafasu mu na bammɔ mmra wʼaban mu.”

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

Me nuanom ne me nnamfonom nti, mɛka se, “Asomdwoe ntena wo mu.”

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

Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn fi nti, mɛhwehwɛ wo yiyeyɛ.
