تَرْنِيمَةُ ٱلْمَصَاعِدِ. لِدَاوُدَ فَرِحْتُ بِٱلْقَائِلِينَ لِي: «إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ نَذْهَبُ». ١ 1
I was glad/happy when people said to me, “We should go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]!”
تَقِفُ أَرْجُلُنَا فِي أَبْوَابِكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ. ٢ 2
And now we are here, standing inside the gates/city of [APO] Jerusalem.
أُورُشَلِيمُ ٱلْمَبْنِيَّةُ كَمَدِينَةٍ مُتَّصِلَةٍ كُلِّهَا، ٣ 3
Jerusalem is a city that has been rebuilt, with the result that people can gather together in it.
حَيْثُ صَعِدَتِ ٱلْأَسْبَاطُ - أَسْبَاطُ ٱلرَّبِّ، شَهَادَةً لِإِسْرَائِيلَ- لِيَحْمَدُوا ٱسْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٤ 4
We [people of the] tribes of Israel who belong to Yahweh can now go up there as Yahweh commanded that we should do, and we can thank him.
لِأَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ ٱسْتَوَتِ ٱلْكَرَاسِيُّ لِلْقَضَاءِ، كَرَاسِيُّ بَيْتِ دَاوُدَ. ٥ 5
There the kings of Israel who were descendants of [King] David sit on their thrones and decide cases [fairly when the people have disputes].
ٱسْأَلُوا سَلَامَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ: «لِيَسْتَرِحْ مُحِبُّوكِ. ٦ 6
Pray that there will be peace in Jerusalem; I desire that those who love Jerusalem will (prosper/live peacefully).
لِيَكُنْ سَلَامٌ فِي أَبْرَاجِكِ، رَاحَةٌ فِي قُصُورِكِ». ٧ 7
I desire that there will be peace inside the walls of the city and that [people who are] inside the palaces will be safe.
مِنْ أَجْلِ إِخْوَتِي وَأَصْحَابِي لَأَقُولَنَّ: «سَلَامٌ بِكِ». ٨ 8
For the sake of my relatives and friends, I say, “My desire is that that inside Jerusalem [people will live] peacefully.”
مِنْ أَجْلِ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا أَلْتَمِسُ لَكِ خَيْرًا. ٩ 9
And because I love the temple of Yahweh our God, I pray that things will go well for the people who live [in Jerusalem].
