1I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”
1Ndakafara panguva yavakati kwandiri, Hendei kumba kwaJehovha.
2Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;
2Tsoka dzedu dzimire Pakati pamasuwo ako, Jerusaremu;
3Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together;
3Jerusaremu, iwe wakavakwa seguta rakasanganiswa zvakanaka;
4where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
4Ndiko kunokwira ndudzi, ndudzi dzaJehovha, Sezvakarairwa Isiraeri, Kuti vavonge zita raJehovha.
5For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David’s house.
5nekuti ndiko kwakagadzwa zvigaro zvokutonga, Zvigaro zvoushe zveimba yaDhavhidhi.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
6kumbirirai Jerusaremu rugare; Vanokudai, vachakomborerwa.
7Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
7Rugare ngaruve mukati mamasvingo ako, Nokufarikana mukati medzimba dzako dzoushe.
8For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
8Nokuda kwehama dzangu neshamwari dzangu, Ndichati zvino, Rugare ngaruve mukati mako.
9For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good.
9Nokuda kweimba yaJehovha Mwari wedu Ndichakutsvakira zvakanaka.
