Zaburi 122

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

[A Song of Ascents. By David.] I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to YHWH's house."

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

Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

3 Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!

Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is joined together;

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

where the tribes go up, even the tribes of JAH, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of YHWH.

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

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

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

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 brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now say, "Peace be within you."

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

For the sake of the house of YHWH our God, I will seek your good.
