Amahubo 122

1 Ngathokoza lapho besithi kimi: Kasiye endlini yeNkosi.

[the] song of The ascents of David I rejoiced in [those who] said to me [the] house of Yahweh let us go.

2 Inyawo zethu zimi emasangweni akho, Jerusalema.

Standing they were feet our in gates your O Jerusalem.

3 IJerusalema yakhiwe njengomuzi ohlangeneyo ngokwawo,

Jerusalem which was built like a city that was joined together to itself together.

4 lapho izizwe ezenyukela khona, izizwe zeNkosi, kubufakazi bukaIsrayeli, ukuze zibonge ibizo leNkosi.

Where there they went up tribes [the] tribes of Yahweh a testimony to Israel to give thanks to [the] name of Yahweh.

5 Ngoba kumiswe khona izihlalo zobukhosi zesahlulelo, izihlalo zobukhosi zendlu kaDavida.

For there - they sat thrones for judgment thrones of [the] house of David.

6 Khulekelani ukuthula kweJerusalema; bazaphumelela abakuthandayo.

Ask for [the] peace of Jerusalem may they be at ease [those who] love you.

7 Kakube khona ukuthula phakathi kwemiduli yakho, inhlalakahle ezigodlweni zakho.

May it be peace in rampart your ease in fortresses your.

8 Ngenxa yabafowethu labangane bami sengizakuthi: Ukuthula kakube phakathi kwakho.

For [the] sake of brothers my and friends my I will speak please peace [be] in you.

9 Ngenxa yendlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ngizakudingela okuhle.

For [the] sake of [the] house of Yahweh God our I will seek good of you.
