Psalms 122

1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

Nilifurahi waliponiambia, “Na twende kwenye Nyumba ya Yahwe.”

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama ndani ya malango yako!

3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:

Ee Yerusalemu, uliojengwa kama mji uliopangiliwa kwa umakini!

4 Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

Makabila huenda juu Yerusalemu, makabila ya Yahwe; kama ushuhuda wa Israeli, kulishukuru jina la Yahwe.

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

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

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

Ombeni kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu! “Wote wakupendao wawe na amani.

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

Amani iwepo ndani ya kuta zako ili ikutetee, na wawe na amani ndani ya ngome zako.”

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

Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na rafiki zangu nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yenu.”

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

Kwa ajili ya Yahwe Mungu wetu, nitatafuta mema kwa ajili yako.
