< Psalm 122 >
1 [Psalm lal David] Nga engan ke elos fahk nu sik, “Lela kut in som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD.”
A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”
2 Ac inge kut utyak tari Nu in kalkal lom, O Jerusalem!
Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem, sie siti su sifil musaiyukla, Ac arulana naweyukla wo.
Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.
4 Pa inge acn ma sruf uh tuku nu we, Sruf lun Israel, In sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD Fal nu ke ma El sapkin.
For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.
5 Pa inge acn se tokosra lun Israel Elos muta we in kol mwet lalos ke suwoswos.
For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.
6 Pre tu Jerusalem in misla: “Lela tu elos su lungse kom in kapkapak.
Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you.
7 Lela tu in oasr misla in kalkal lom, A in wangin ma aklokoalokye inkul fulat we.”
Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers.
8 Ke sripen mwet in sou luk a mwet kawuk luk Nga fahk nu sin Jerusalem, “Mutana in misla.”
For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you.
9 Ke sripen lohm sin LEUM GOD lasr Nga pre tu in wo ouiyom.
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you.
