Zaburi 122

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia, “Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” I was glad when they said to me, Let us go up to the house of the LORD!

2 Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

Jerusalem, the rebuilt city! The city that is joined together!

4 Huko ndiko makabila hukwea, makabila ya Bwana, kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo waliopewa Israeli.

Thither the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, according to the law of Israel, To praise the name of the LORD.

5 Huko viti vya enzi vya hukumu hukaa, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.

There stand the thrones of judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

6 Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu: “Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they prosper who love thee!

7 Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”

Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces!

8 Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki, nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”

For my brethren and companions' sake will I say, Peace be within thee!

9 Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mafanikio yako.

For the sake of the house of the LORD, our God, Will I seek thy good!
