Psalm 122

1 [Psalm lal David] Nga engan ke elos fahk nu sik, “Lela kut in som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD.”

A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the LORD.

2 Ac inge kut utyak tari Nu in kalkal lom, O Jerusalem!

Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

3 Jerusalem, sie siti su sifil musaiyukla, Ac arulana naweyukla wo.

Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together:

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.

Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD [for] a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into the name of the LORD.

5 Pa inge acn se tokosra lun Israel Elos muta we in kol mwet lalos ke suwoswos.

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

6 Pre tu Jerusalem in misla: “Lela tu elos su lungse kom in kapkapak.

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

7 Lela tu in oasr misla in kalkal lom, A in wangin ma aklokoalokye inkul fulat we.”

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

8 Ke sripen mwet in sou luk a mwet kawuk luk Nga fahk nu sin Jerusalem, “Mutana in misla.”

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

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 will seek thy good.
