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.”

[the] song of The ascents of David I rejoiced in [those who] said to me [the] house of Yahweh let us go.

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

Standing they were feet our in gates your O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem which was built like a city that was joined together to itself together.

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

Where there they went up tribes [the] tribes of Yahweh a testimony to Israel to give thanks to [the] name of Yahweh.

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

For there - they sat thrones for judgment thrones of [the] house of David.

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

Ask for [the] peace of Jerusalem may they be at ease [those who] love you.

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

May it be peace in rampart your ease in fortresses your.

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

For [the] sake of brothers my and friends my I will speak please peace [be] in you.

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

For [the] sake of [the] house of Yahweh God our I will seek good of you.
