Psalms 122

1 I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.

Orin fún ìgòkè. Ti Dafidi. Inú mi dùn nígbà tí wọ́n wí fún mi pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí á lọ sílé Olúwa.”

2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

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

3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

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

4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

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

5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

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

6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.

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

7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.

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

8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

Nítorí àwọn ọkùnrin àti àwọn ẹgbẹ́ mi èmi yóò wí nísinsin yìí pé, kí àlàáfíà kí ó wà nínú rẹ̀.

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.

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