Thaburi 122

1 Thaburi ya Daudi Nĩndakenire hamwe na arĩa maanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ nyũmba ya Jehova.”

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 Magũrũ maitũ marũgamĩte ihingo-inĩ ciaku, wee Jerusalemu.

Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

3 Jerusalemu rĩakĩtwo ta itũũra inene rĩnyitithanĩtio wega.

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

4 Kũu nĩkuo mĩhĩrĩga yambataga, o yo mĩhĩrĩga ya Jehova, ĩgathiĩ kũgooca rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova kũringana na mawatho marĩa aheete Isiraeli.

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 Kũu nĩkuo kũigĩtwo itĩ cia ũnene cia atuanĩri ciira, o cio itĩ cia ũnene cia nyũmba ya Daudi.

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

6 Hoerai Jerusalemu thayũ: “Arĩa makwendete marotũũra na thayũ.

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

7 Kũrĩa thingo ciaku ciirigĩire kũrogĩa na thayũ, naguo ũgitĩri ũgĩe ciikaro-inĩ ciaku cia ũthamaki.”

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

8 Nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a baba na arata, nguuga atĩrĩ, “Thayũ ũrogĩa thĩinĩ waku.”

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

9 Nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai witũ, caragia ũgaacĩru waku.

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