Abụ Ọma 122

1 Abụ nrigo, nke Devid. Aṅụrịrị m ọṅụ mgbe ha sị m, “Ka anyị gaa nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị.”

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.

2 Ụkwụ anyị eguzola ugbu a nʼọnụ ụzọ ama gị niile, gị obodo Jerusalem.

Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

3 E wuru Jerusalem dịka obodo a chịkọtara ọnụ nke ọma.

Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:

4 Ọ bụ ebe ahụ ka ebo niile na-arịgo, bụ ebo niile nke Onyenwe anyị, ịbụku aha Onyenwe anyị abụ dịka iwu o nyere ndị Izrel si dị.

Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.

5 Nʼebe ahụ ka ocheeze niile nke ikpe ikpe dị, bụ ocheeze niile nke ezinaụlọ Devid.

For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.

6 Kpeenụ ekpere maka udo Jerusalem: “Ka ndị niile hụrụ gị nʼanya nọọ nʼudo.

Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.

7 Ka udo dịrị nʼime mgbidi gị niile nchekwa dịrịkwa nʼime ebe nche gị niile e wusiri ike.”

Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.

8 Nʼihi ụmụnne m na ndị enyi m, ana m ekwu okwu sị, “Udo dịrị gị.”

For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.

9 Nʼihi ụlọ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke anyị, aga m achọ ọganihu gị.

Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.
