Sòm 122

1 Yon Sòm pou monte vè tanp lan. Yon Sòm David. Mwen te kontan lè yo te di mwen, “Annou ale lakay SENYÈ a.”

A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

2 Pye nou kanpe anndan pòtay ou yo, O Jérusalem!

Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

3 Jérusalem, ki bati kon yon vil ki kole dyanm ansanm,

Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;

4 sou (sila) tribi yo konn monte, menm tribi a SENYÈ yo, yon òdonans pou Israël, pou bay remèsiman a non SENYÈ a.

Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

5 Paske la, twòn yo te plase pou jijman, twòn lakay David yo.

For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

6 Priye pou lapè Jérusalem. (Sila) ki renmen ou yo va pwospere.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.

7 Ke lapè kapab anndan miray ou yo, e pwosperite nan palè ou yo.

Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces.

8 Pou koz a frè m yo ak zanmi mwen yo, m ap di koulye a, “Ke lapè anndan ou”.

For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9 Pou koz a kay SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mwen va chache byen ou.

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