Sabuurradii 122

1 Waan farxay markay igu yidhaahdeen, Ina keena, aan guriga Rabbiga tagnee.

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

2 Yeruusaalemay, cagahayagu Waxay taagan yihiin irdahaaga gudahooda,

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

3 Yeruusaalem waxaa loo dhisay Sida magaalo isku wada dheggan,

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

4 Halkaasay qabiilooyinka, oo ah qabiilooyinka Rabbigu kor ugu baxaan Inay Israa'iil u marag furaan, Iyo inay magaca Rabbiga ku mahadnaqaan.

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 Waayo, waxaa yaalla carshiyo garsoorid loo dhigay, Waana carshiyadii reerka Daa'uud.

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

6 Yeruusaalem nabad ugu duceeya. Kuwa ku jecelu way barwaaqoobi doonaan.

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

7 Nabadu ha ku jirto derbiyadaada gudahooda, Barwaaqona ha ku jirto daarahaaga dhaadheer.

well within your ramparts, and well within your palaces.

8 Walaalahay iyo rafiiqyadayda daraaddood Ayaan hadda waxaan odhanayaa, Nabadu gudahaaga ha ku jirto.

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

9 Rabbiga Ilaahayaga gurigiisa daraaddiis Ayaan wanaaggaaga u doondooni doonaa.

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