< Zaburi 122 >

1 Nilifurahi waliponiambia, “Na twende kwenye Nyumba ya Yahwe.”
A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
2 Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama ndani ya malango yako!
Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!
Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,
4 Makabila huenda juu Yerusalemu, makabila ya Yahwe; kama ushuhuda wa Israeli, kulishukuru jina la Yahwe.
where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5 Huko viliwekwa viti vya hukumu, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.
For there the thrones of judgment stand, 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: “May those who love you prosper.
7 Amani iwepo ndani ya kuta zako ili ikutetee, na wawe na amani ndani ya ngome zako.”
May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”
8 Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na rafiki zangu nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yenu.”
For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9 Kwa ajili ya Yahwe Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mema kwa ajili yako.
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
