Salamo 122

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.

2 Ny tongotray efa mijoro Eo anatin’ ny vavahadinao, ry Jerosalema ô,

Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

3 Dia ianao ry Jerosalema, izay efa vita Tahaka ny tanàna efa voalamina tsara;

Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

4 Any no iakaran’ ny firenena, Dia ireo firenen’ i Jehovah (Lalàna amin’ ny Isiraely izany). Mba hisaotra ny anaran’ i Jehovah.

For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

5 Fa any no misy seza fitsarana mipetraka, Dia ny seza fiandrianan’ ny mpianakavin’ i Davida.

Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

6 Mangataha fiadanana ho an’ i Jerosalema; Hambinina anie izay tia anao;

Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.

7 Fiadanana anie ho ao anatin’ ny mandanao; Fanambinana anie ho ao an-dapanao

Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.

8 Noho ny rahalahiko sy ny namako No hanaovako hoe Fiadanana anie ho ao anatinao.

For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

9 Noho ny tranon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika Dia hitady izay hahatsara anao aho.

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
