Psalms 122

1 A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

1 Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia, “Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”

2 Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

2 Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama malangoni mwako.

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

3 Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.

4 where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

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

5 For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

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

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

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

7 May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

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

8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

8 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 your prosperity.

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