< תהילים 122 >
שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת לְדָוִד שָׂמַחְתִּי בְּאֹמְרִים לִי בֵּית יְהֹוָה נֵלֵֽךְ׃ | 1 |
A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, 'To the house of Jehovah we go.'
עֹמְדוֹת הָיוּ רַגְלֵינוּ בִּשְׁעָרַיִךְ יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ | 2 |
Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!
יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם הַבְּנוּיָה כְּעִיר שֶׁחֻבְּרָה־לָּהּ יַחְדָּֽו׃ | 3 |
Jerusalem — the builded one — [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
שֶׁשָּׁם עָלוּ שְׁבָטִים שִׁבְטֵי־יָהּ עֵדוּת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְהֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 4 |
For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
כִּי שָׁמָּה ׀ יָשְׁבוּ כִסְאוֹת לְמִשְׁפָּט כִּסְאוֹת לְבֵית דָּוִֽד׃ | 5 |
For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.
שַׁאֲלוּ שְׁלוֹם יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם יִשְׁלָיוּ אֹהֲבָֽיִךְ׃ | 6 |
Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.
יְהִי־שָׁלוֹם בְּחֵילֵךְ שַׁלְוָה בְּאַרְמְנוֹתָֽיִךְ׃ | 7 |
Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,
לְמַעַן אַחַי וְרֵעָי אֲדַבְּרָה־נָּא שָׁלוֹם בָּֽךְ׃ | 8 |
For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, 'Peace [be] in thee.'
לְמַעַן בֵּית־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֲבַקְשָׁה טוֹב לָֽךְ׃ | 9 |
For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
