1I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”
1 Zijiyaŋ dooni no. Dawda wane no. Ay farhã waato kaŋ cine i ne ay se: «Kaa, iri ma koy Rabbi windo do.»
2Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;
2 Ya Urusalima*, iri cey ga kay ni birni meyey ra.
3Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together;
3 Urusalima, nin kaŋ i na ni cina, Gallu nooya kaŋ goono ga margu care gaa.
4where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
4 Naŋ kaŋ kundey ga kaaru, Kaŋ ga ti Rabbi kundey, farilla no Israyla se, Ngey ma du ka saabu Rabbi maa se.
5For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David’s house.
5 Zama noodin no i na kargayaŋ sinji ciiti teeyaŋ se, Kaŋ ga ti Dawda dumo kargey.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
6 Wa te adduwa Urusalima laakal kana se ka ne: «Ni baakoy ma te arzaka.
7Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
7 Laakal kanay ma goro ni birni cinarey ra, Albarka mo ma goro ni faadey ra.»
8For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
8 Ay nya-izey d'ay baakoy sabbay se no ay ga ne: «Laakal kanay ma goro ni ra.»
9For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good.
9 Rabbi iri Irikoyo windo sabbay se no ay goono ga ni albarka ceeci.
