Zaburi 122

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

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

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

Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact 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, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

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

For there are set thrones of 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 you.

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

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

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

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