Abụ Ọma 122

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

I WAS glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

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

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

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.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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