Psalmowo 122

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

A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

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

Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.

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

For there the tribes went 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 are set thrones for judgement, [even] thrones for the house of David.

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

Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love you.

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

Let peace, I pray, be within your host, and prosperity in your palaces.

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

For the sake of my brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning you.

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

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought your good.
