Psalm 122

1 [Psalm lal David] Nga engan ke elos fahk nu sik, “Lela kut in som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD.”

A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”

2 Ac inge kut utyak tari Nu in kalkal lom, O Jerusalem!

Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem, sie siti su sifil musaiyukla, Ac arulana naweyukla wo.

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,

4 Pa inge acn ma sruf uh tuku nu we, Sruf lun Israel, In sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD Fal nu ke ma El sapkin.

where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.

5 Pa inge acn se tokosra lun Israel Elos muta we in kol mwet lalos ke suwoswos.

For there are set thrones for judgement, the thrones of David’s house.

6 Pre tu Jerusalem in misla: “Lela tu elos su lungse kom in kapkapak.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

7 Lela tu in oasr misla in kalkal lom, A in wangin ma aklokoalokye inkul fulat we.”

Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

8 Ke sripen mwet in sou luk a mwet kawuk luk Nga fahk nu sin Jerusalem, “Mutana in misla.”

For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

9 Ke sripen lohm sin LEUM GOD lasr Nga pre tu in wo ouiyom.

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
