Псалтирь 122

1 Возвеселихся о рекших мне: в дом Господень пойдем.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. I was so happy when they said to me, “Let's go the house of the Lord.”

2 Стояще бяху ноги нашя во дворех твоих, Иерусалиме.

Now we're standing inside your gates, Jerusalem!

3 Иерусалим зиждемый яко град, емуже причастие его вкупе.

Jerusalem is built as a city where people can be together.

4 Тамо бо взыдоша колена, колена Господня, свидение Израилево, исповедатися имени Господню:

All the tribes—the tribes of the Lord—go up there, following the command given to Israel to give thanks to the Lord.

5 яко тамо седоша престоли на суд, престоли в дому Давидове.

This is where the thrones are placed, where judgment is given, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Вопросите же яже о мире Иерусалима: и обилие любящым тя.

Pray that Jerusalem may be at peace. May everyone who loves Jerusalem be kept safe.

7 Буди же мир в силе твоей, и обилие в столпостенах твоих.

May there be peace within your walls, and safety within your fortresses.

8 Ради братий моих и ближних моих глаголах убо мир о тебе.

On behalf of my family and friends, I will now say, “May you be at peace.”

9 Дому ради Господа Бога нашего взысках благая тебе.

On behalf of the house of the Lord our God, I pray that everything goes well for you.
