Zaburi 122

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” I was glad when they said to me, Let us go up to the house of the LORD!

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, the rebuilt city! The city that is joined together!

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

Thither the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, according to the law of Israel, To praise the name of the LORD.

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

There stand the 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! May they prosper who 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' sake will I say, Peace be within thee!

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

For the sake of the house of the LORD, our God, Will I seek thy good!
