Zaburi 122

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

I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Adonai’s house!”

2 Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem [City of peace];

3 Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

Jerusalem [City of peace], that is built as a city that is compact together;

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

where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to a testimony for Israel [God prevails], yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai’s name.

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

For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David [Beloved]’s house.

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem [City of peace]. Those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· you will prosper.

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

Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

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

For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

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

For the sake of the house of Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God], I will seek your good.
