Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the LORD.

Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi. Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia, “Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”

2 Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

3 Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together:

Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

4 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD [for] a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into the name of the LORD.

Huko ndiko makabila hukwea, makabila ya Bwana, kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo waliopewa Israeli.

5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Huko viti vya enzi vya hukumu hukaa, viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu: “Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”

8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki, nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mafanikio yako.
