Psalms 122

1 I PEREN kida ar indai on ia: Kitail en kolan nan tanpaj en Ieowa!

A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, ‘We will go to the house of the Lord.’

2 Na at akan pan mi ni wanim en kel en Ierujalem.

Now we are standing, within your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Ierujalem kanim eu me kakaudar, pwen kanim kelail eu.

O Jerusalem, built close-packed, like a city without breach or gap,

4 Waja me kainok kan kin momaitala ia, kainok en Ieowa kan, jaunkadede en Ijrael, pwen kapina mar en Ieowa.

to you do the tribes come, the tribes of the Lord, as the law has ordained for Israel, there to give thanks to the Lord.

5 Pwe i waja me mol en kadeik mi ia, mol en kadaudok en Dawid.

There once stood thrones of justice even thrones of the household of David.

6 Poeki on Ierujalem a pai kan! Me kin pok on uk, en paida!

Pray that all may be well with Jerusalem, and well with those who love you,

7 Muei mau en mi ni om kel, o pai nan om im akan!

well within your ramparts, and well within your palaces.

8 I pan kapakapa kin uk pweki ri ai o kompoke pai kan.

For the sake of my brethren and friends, I will wish you now prosperity:

9 I pan rapaki on uk me mau melel, pweki tanpaj en Ieowa at Kot.

for the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.
