Jerusalem tashi halelwa ombili
Eimbilo lomolweendo lokuya kouyapuki, laDavid.
1 Osha hafifa nge, eshi nda lombwelwa:
“Tu yeni kongulu yOmwene.”
2 Eemhadi detu tadi kala ofika
moivelo yoye, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem, omutungululwa
oove, oshilando wa pakwa kumwe wa pamekwa,
4 omo tuu omo ovanhu vOmwene
tava i oku mu fimaneka
pamhango ya pewa Israel,
okupandula edina lOmwene,
5 osheshi omo mwa yalwa oipundi
yetokolelo, oyo yomeumbo laDavid.
6 Haleleni Jerusalem ombili!
“Ava ve ku hole, nava kale nepunapalo.
7 Ombili nai kale momakuma oye,
nengungumano omomauhamba oye.”
8 Molwovamwatate nookaume kange
nda hala, ndi ku halele ombili;
9 molwongulu yOmwene, Kalunga ketu,
onda hala, ndi ku kongele ouwa.
A Song of degrees of David.
1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
