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.’

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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