Salamo 122

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

A song of ascents, of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”

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

Jerusalem, our feet are standing within your gates!

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

Jerusalem, built as a city carefully planned!

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

The tribes go up to Jerusalem—the tribes of Yahweh— as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

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

There thrones of judgment were set, thrones of the house of David.

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May those who love you have peace.

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

May there be peace within the walls that defend you, and may they have peace within your fortresses.”

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

For the sake of my brothers and my friends I will say, “May there be peace within you.”

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

For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek good for you.
