Salmenes 122

1 En sang ved festreisene; av David. Jeg gleder mig ved dem som sier til mig: Vi vil gå til Herrens hus.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

2 Våre føtter står i dine porter, Jerusalem!

Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem, du velbyggede, lik en by som er tett sammenføiet,

Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

4 hvor stammene drar op, Herrens stammer, efter en lov for Israel, for å prise Herrens navn!

For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

5 For der er stoler satt til dom, stoler for Davids hus.

For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.

6 Bed om fred for Jerusalem! La det gå dem vel som elsker dig!

Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.

7 Der være fred innen din voll, ro i dine saler!

Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

8 For mine brødres og mine venners skyld vil jeg si: Fred være i dig!

For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

9 For Herrens, vår Guds huses skyld vil jeg søke ditt beste.

For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!
