Psalmowo 122

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

A Song of degrees. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

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

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

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

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

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

For there are set thrones for judgment, 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: they shall prosper that love thee.

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

Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

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

For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

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

Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
