Zaburi 122

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

A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, 'To the house of Jehovah we go.'

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

Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!

Jerusalem — the builded one — [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

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

For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

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

For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.

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

Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.

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

Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,

8 Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na rafiki zangu nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yenu.”

For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, 'Peace [be] in thee.'

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

For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
