Jerusalem tashi tangwa
Episalomi lyaDavid
1 Onda nyanyukwa, sho nda lombwelwa:
“Tu yeni kongulu yOmuwa.”
2 Otse mbaka tu li miiyelo yoye,
Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem, ngoye oshilando sha tungwa sha kolelela.
4 Omo moka aantu yOmuwa taa yi oku mu simaneka,
opampango ya pewa Israel.
5 MuJerusalem omo hamu ningilwa oompangu
komukwaniilwa gwomoluvalo lwaDavid.
6 Haleleni Jerusalem ombili.
Mboka ye ku hole,
naa kale ye na elago.
7 Ombili nayi kale meni lyomadhingililokuma goye,
egameno nengungumano,
omoombala dhoye.
8 Omolwaamwameme nookuume kandje
otandi ti: “Ombili nayi kale nangoye.”
9 Omolwongulu yOmuwa, Kalunga ketu,
otandi galikana, u mone elago.
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.
