Zaburi 122

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

A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto 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, that art builded 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, even the tribes of the LORD [for] a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into the name of the LORD.

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 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’ sakes, I will now 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 I will seek thy good.
