Psalms 122
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'
1Naʻaku fiefia ʻi heʻenau pehē mai kiate au, “Ke tau ō ki he fale ʻo Sihova.”
2Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;
2ʻE tuʻu homau vaʻe ki lotoʻā ʻi ho ngaahi matapā, ʻE Selūsalema.
3Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;
3Kuo langa ʻa Selūsalema ʻo hangē ko e kolo ʻoku māʻopoʻopo:
4Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
4ʻAia ʻoku ʻalu hake ki ai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo Sihova, ki he fakamoʻoni ʻa ʻIsileli, ke ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
5For there were set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
5He ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi nofoʻa ʻoe fakamaau, ko e ngaahi nofoʻa ʻoe fale ʻo Tevita.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee.
6Mou hūfia ke melino ʻa Selūsalema: “ʻE monūʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau ʻofa kiate koe.
7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
7Ke ʻai ʻae melino ʻi ho ngaahi lotoʻā maka, mo e monūʻia ʻi ho ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki.”
8For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say: 'Peace be within thee.'
8Pea koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi kāinga mo hoku ngaahi kaumeʻa, te u lea ni, “Ke ʻiate koe ʻae melino.”
9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
9Koeʻuhi ko e fale ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, te u kumi ke ke lelei ai.
