Psalmowo 122

1 David ƒe mɔzɔha. Mekpɔ dzidzɔ kple ame siwo gblɔ nam be, “Mina míayi Yehowa ƒe aƒe me.”

A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

2 O! Yerusalem, míaƒe afɔwo le wò agbowo nu.

Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Wotso Yerusalem, eye nèle abe du si tsyia ɖe wo nɔewo nu ene.

Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

4 Afi ma to vovovoawo yina, Yehowa ƒe toawo, be woakafu Yehowa, le ɖoɖo si wòna Israel nu.

where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5 Afi ma woɖo ʋɔnudrɔ̃zikpuiwo ɖo, David ƒe aƒe la ƒe fiazikpuiwo.

For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Mido gbe ɖa, abia ŋutifafa na Yerusalem be, “Ame siwo lɔ̃ wò la nenɔ dedie.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

7 Ŋutifafa nenɔ wò gliwo me kple dedinɔnɔ le wò fiasãwo me.”

May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

8 Le nɔvinye ŋutsuwo kple xɔ̃nyewo ta, magblɔ be, “Ŋutifafa nenɔ mewò.”

For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

9 Le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe aƒe la ta, madi dzidzedze na wò.

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
