भजनसंग्रह 122

1 तिनीहरूले मलाई, “हामी परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमा जाऔं” भन्दा म खुसी हुन्थें ।

I was glad/happy when people said to me, “We should go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]!”

2 ए यरूशलेम, हाम्रा खुट्टाहरू तेरा ढोकाहरूभित्र खडा छन् ।

And now we are here, standing inside the gates/city of [APO] Jerusalem.

3 ए यरूशलेम, होसियार भएर योजना गरी बनाइएको सहर हो ।

Jerusalem is a city that has been rebuilt, with the result that people can gather together in it.

4 कुलहरू, परमप्रभुका कुलहरू, इस्राएलको साक्षीको रूपमा परमप्रभुको नाउँमा धन्यवाद दिनलाई यरूशलेममा जान्छन् ।

We [people of the] tribes of Israel who belong to Yahweh can now go up there as Yahweh commanded that we should do, and we can thank him.

5 त्यहाँ न्यायका सिंहासनहरू, दाऊदको घरानाको सिंहासनहरू खडा गरिएका थिए ।

There the kings of Israel who were descendants of [King] David sit on their thrones and decide cases [fairly when the people have disputes].

6 यरूशलेमको शन्तिको निम्ति प्रार्थना गर । “तँलाई प्रेम गर्नेहरूलाई शान्ति मिलोस् ।

Pray that there will be peace in Jerusalem; I desire that those who love Jerusalem will (prosper/live peacefully).

7 तेरो रक्षा गर्ने पर्खालहरूभित्र शान्ति रहोस् र तिनीहरूले तेरा किल्लाहरूभित्र शान्ति पाऊन् ।”

I desire that there will be peace inside the walls of the city and that [people who are] inside the palaces will be safe.

8 मेरा दाजुभाइ र मित्रहरूका खातिर, म भन्‍नेछु, “तँभित्र शान्ति होस् ।”

For the sake of my relatives and friends, I say, “My desire is that that inside Jerusalem [people will live] peacefully.”

9 परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्‍वरको मन्‍दिरको खातिर, म तेरो भलाइ खोज्‍नेछु ।

And because I love the temple of Yahweh our God, I pray that things will go well for the people who live [in Jerusalem].
