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 degrees of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

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

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem is built 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.

Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

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

For there are set thrones of 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’ sake, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

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

Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
