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