Zaburi 122

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

A Song of degrees. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

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

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!

Jerusalem, which art built 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, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to 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 bulwarks, 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 say, Peace be within thee!

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

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