Psalms 122

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

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

Fa mijohañe amo lalam-bei’oo ty fandia’ay, ry Ierosalaime!

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

Hehe t’Ierosalaime, rova niranjieñe soa-fifamatotse.

4 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.

Ie ty ionjona’ o rofòkoo, o rofòko’ Ià-o, ty amy nitaroñañe am’ Israeley, hañandriaña’iareo ty tahina’ Iehovà.

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

Ao ty nampitroarañe fiambesam-pizakàñe, o fiambesa’ i tarira’ i Davideio.

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

Mihalalia fañanintsiñe am’Ierosalaime: hiraorao o mikoko Azoo.

7 well within your ramparts, and well within your palaces.

Fañanintsiñe ty ho an-kijoli’o ao, naho fierañerañañe amo anjomba’o mitiotiotseo.

8 For the sake of my brethren and friends, I will wish you now prosperity:

O longokoo naho o rañekoo, le hataoko ty hoe: Fañanintsiñe ama’o.

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

I anjomba’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentikañey, ho paiako ty hampibodobodo azo.
