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, “Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”

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

Jerusalem, our feet are standing within your gates!

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

Jerusalem, built as a city carefully planned!

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

The tribes go up to Jerusalem—the tribes of Yahweh— as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

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

There thrones of judgment were set, thrones of the house of David.

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May those who love you have peace.

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

May there be peace within the walls that defend you, and may they have peace within your fortresses.”

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 friends I will say, “May there be peace within you.”

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

For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek good for you.
