Psalms 122

1 Orin fún ìgòkè. Ti Dafidi. Inú mi dùn nígbà tí wọ́n wí fún mi pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí á lọ sílé Olúwa.”

A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”

2 Ẹsẹ̀ wa yóò dúró ní ẹnu ibodè rẹ, ìwọ Jerusalẹmu.

Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalẹmu, ìwọ tí a kọ́ bí ìlú tí o fi ara mọ́ra pọ̀ ṣọ̀kan.

Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.

4 Níbi tí àwọn ẹ̀yà máa ń gòkè lọ, àwọn ẹ̀yà Olúwa, ẹ̀rí fún Israẹli, láti máa dúpẹ́ fún orúkọ Olúwa.

For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.

5 Nítorí ibẹ̀ ni a gbé ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́ kalẹ̀, àwọn ìtẹ́ ilé Dafidi.

For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.

6 Gbàdúrà fún àlàáfíà Jerusalẹmu; àwọn tí ó fẹ́ ọ yóò ṣe rere.

Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you.

7 Kí àlàáfíà kí ó wà nínú odi rẹ̀, àti ìre nínú ààfin rẹ̀.

Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers.

8 Nítorí àwọn ọkùnrin àti àwọn ẹgbẹ́ mi èmi yóò wí nísinsin yìí pé, kí àlàáfíà kí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.

For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you.

9 Nítorí ilé Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, èmi yóò máa wá ìre rẹ̀.

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you.
