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.’

I PEREN kida ar indai ong ia: Kitail en kolang nan tanpas en Ieowa!

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

Nä at akan pan mi ni wanim en kel en Ierusalem.

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

Ierusalem kanim eu me kakaudar, pwen kanim kelail eu.

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.

Wasa me kainok kan kin momaitala ia, kainok en Ieowa kan, saunkadede en Israel, pwen kapinga mar en Ieowa.

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

Pwe i wasa me mol en kadeik mi ia, mol en kadaudok en Dawid.

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

Poeki ong Ierusalem a pai kan! Me kin pok ong uk, en paida!

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

Muei mau en mi ni om kel, o pai nan om im akan!

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

I pan kapakapa kin uk pweki ri ai o kompoke pai kan.

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

I pan rapaki ong uk me mau melel, pweki tanpas en Ieowa at Kot.
