Zaburi 122

1 Nilifurahi waliponiambia, “Na twende kwenye Nyumba ya Yahwe.”

A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

2 Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama ndani ya malango yako!

Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

3 Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!

Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;

4 Makabila huenda juu Yerusalemu, makabila ya Yahwe; kama ushuhuda wa Israeli, kulishukuru jina la Yahwe.

Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

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

For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

6 Ombeni kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu! “Wote wakupendao wawe na amani.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.

7 Amani iwepo ndani ya kuta zako ili ikutetee, na wawe na amani ndani ya ngome zako.”

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

8 Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na rafiki zangu nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yenu.”

For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9 Kwa ajili ya Yahwe Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mema kwa ajili yako.

For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
