Psalm 122
A song of ascents. Of David.
1I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
2Our feet are standing
in your gates, Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is built like a city
that is closely compacted together.
4That is where the tribes go up—
the tribes of the Lord—
to praise the name of the Lord
according to the statute given to Israel.
5There stand the thrones for judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you be secure.
7May there be peace within your walls
and security within your citadels.”
8For the sake of my family and friends,
I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your prosperity.
Zaburi 122
Sifa Kwa Yerusalemu
Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi.
1122:1 Isa 49:10; Yer 31:6; Zek 8:21Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia,
“Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”
2Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama
malangoni mwako.
3122:3 2Sam 5:9; Efe 2:21Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji
ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.
4122:4 Kum 16:16; Kut 16:34Huko ndiko makabila hukwea,
makabila ya Bwana,
kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo
waliopewa Israeli.
5Huko viti vya enzi vya hukumu hukaa,
viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.
6122:6 Za 26:8; Isa 62:6; Yer 51:50Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu:
“Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.
7122:7 1Sam 25:6; Za 48:3Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako
na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”
8Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki,
nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”
9122:9 Za 128:5Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu,
nitatafuta mafanikio yako.
