Thaburi 122

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

2 Magũrũ maitũ marũgamĩte ihingo-inĩ ciaku, wee Jerusalemu.

Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalemu rĩakĩtwo ta itũũra inene rĩnyitithanĩtio wega.

Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

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

For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

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

For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.

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

Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.

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

Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

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

For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

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

For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!
