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 song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, ‘We will go to the house of the Lord.’

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

Now we are standing, within your gates, O Jerusalem.

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

O Jerusalem, built close-packed, like a city without breach or gap,

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

to you do the tribes come, the tribes of the Lord, as the law has ordained for Israel, there to give thanks to the Lord.

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

There once stood thrones of justice even thrones of the household of David.

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

Pray that all may be well with Jerusalem, and well with those who love you,

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

well within your ramparts, and well within your palaces.

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 brethren and friends, I will wish you now prosperity:

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

for the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.
