Psalmi 122

1 Bil sem vesel, ko so mi rekli: »Pojdimo v Gospodovo hišo.«

A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”

2 Naša stopala bodo stala znotraj tvojih velikih vrat, oh Jeruzalem.

Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.

3 Jeruzalem je zgrajen kakor mesto, ki je stisnjeno skupaj,

Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.

4 kamor se vzpenjajo rodovi, Gospodovi rodovi, v pričevanje Izraelu, da dajejo zahvalo Gospodovemu imenu.

For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.

5 Kajti tam so postavljeni sodni prestoli, prestoli Davidove hiše.

For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.

6 Mólite za mir v Jeruzalemu. Tisti, ki te ljubijo, bodo uspevali.

Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you.

7 Mir bodi znotraj tvojih zidov in uspevanje v tvojih palačah.

Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers.

8 Zaradi mojih bratov in zaradi družabnikov bom torej rekel: »Mir bodi znotraj tebe.«

For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you.

9 Zaradi hiše Gospoda, našega Boga, bom iskal tvoje dobro.

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you.
