Psalm 122

1 [Psalm lal David] Nga engan ke elos fahk nu sik, “Lela kut in som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD.”

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

2 Ac inge kut utyak tari Nu in kalkal lom, O Jerusalem!

Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, sie siti su sifil musaiyukla, Ac arulana naweyukla wo.

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

4 Pa inge acn ma sruf uh tuku nu we, Sruf lun Israel, In sang kulo nu sin LEUM GOD Fal nu ke ma El sapkin.

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

5 Pa inge acn se tokosra lun Israel Elos muta we in kol mwet lalos ke suwoswos.

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

6 Pre tu Jerusalem in misla: “Lela tu elos su lungse kom in kapkapak.

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

7 Lela tu in oasr misla in kalkal lom, A in wangin ma aklokoalokye inkul fulat we.”

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

8 Ke sripen mwet in sou luk a mwet kawuk luk Nga fahk nu sin Jerusalem, “Mutana in misla.”

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

9 Ke sripen lohm sin LEUM GOD lasr Nga pre tu in wo ouiyom.

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