Psalmowo 122

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

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.

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

Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

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

Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:

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

Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.

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

For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.

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

Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.

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

Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.

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

For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.

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

Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.
