Mapisarema 122

1 Rwiyo rworwendo rwaDhavhidhi. Ndakafara pavakati kwandiri, “Handei kumba yaJehovha.”

Ngathokoza lapho besithi kimi: Kasiye endlini yeNkosi.

2 Tsoka dzedu dzimire mukati mamasuo ako, iwe Jerusarema.

Inyawo zethu zimi emasangweni akho, Jerusalema.

3 Jerusarema rakavakwa seguta rakapakata kwazvo.

IJerusalema yakhiwe njengomuzi ohlangeneyo ngokwawo,

4 Ndiko kunokwira marudzi, iwo marudzi aJehovha, kundorumbidza zita raJehovha maererano nezvakatemerwa Israeri.

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

5 Zvigaro zvokutonga zvimire ikoko, zvigaro zvoushe zveimba yaDhavhidhi.

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

6 Nyengetererai rugare rweJerusarema: “Vanokuda dai vagara zvakanaka.

Khulekelani ukuthula kweJerusalema; bazaphumelela abakuthandayo.

7 Dai mukati mamasvingo ako maita rugare, nokuchengetedzeka mukati menhare dzako.”

Kakube khona ukuthula phakathi kwemiduli yakho, inhlalakahle ezigodlweni zakho.

8 Nokuda kwehama neshamwari dzangu, ndichati, “Rugare ngaruve mukati mako.”

Ngenxa yabafowethu labangane bami sengizakuthi: Ukuthula kakube phakathi kwakho.

9 Nokuda kweimba yaJehovha Mwari wedu, ndichatsvaka kubudirira kwako.

Ngenxa yendlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ngizakudingela okuhle.
