Zaburi 122

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

A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

2 Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

Jerusalem 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.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

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

For there are set 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: they shall prosper that 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, I will now say, Peace [be] within thee.

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

Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
