Mga Awit 122
Ang Biblia, 2001
Awit ng Pag-akyat. Mula kay David.
122 Ako'y natuwa nang kanilang sabihin sa akin,
“Tayo na sa bahay ng Panginoon!”
2 Ang mga paa natin ay nakatayo
sa loob ng iyong mga pintuan, O Jerusalem;
3 Jerusalem, na natayo
na parang lunsod na siksikan;
4 na inaahon ng mga lipi,
ng mga lipi ng Panginoon,
gaya ng iniutos para sa Israel,
upang magpasalamat sa pangalan ng Panginoon.
5 Doo'y inilagay ang mga trono para sa paghatol,
ang mga trono ng sambahayan ni David.
6 Idalangin ninyo ang sa Jerusalem na kapayapaan!
“Guminhawa nawa silang sa iyo ay nagmamahal!
7 Magkaroon nawa sa loob ng inyong mga pader ng kapayapaan,
at sa loob ng iyong mga tore ay katiwasayan!”
8 Alang-alang sa aking mga kapatid at mga kaibigan,
aking sasabihin, “Sumainyo ang kapayapaan.”
9 Alang-alang sa bahay ng Panginoon nating Diyos,
hahanapin ko ang iyong ikabubuti.
Awit 122
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
122 Ako'y natutuwa nang kanilang sabihin sa akin, tayo'y magsiparoon sa bahay ng Panginoon.
2 Ang mga paa natin ay nagsisitayo sa loob ng iyong mga pintuang-bayan, Oh Jerusalem;
3 Jerusalem, na natayo na parang bayang siksikan:
4 Na inaahon ng mga lipi, sa makatuwid baga'y ng mga lipi ng Panginoon, na pinaka patotoo sa Israel, upang magpasalamat sa pangalan ng Panginoon.
5 Sapagka't doo'y nalagay ang mga luklukan na ukol sa kahatulan, ang mga luklukan ng sangbahayan ni David.
6 Idalangin ninyo ang kapayapaan ng Jerusalem: sila'y magsisiginhawa na nagsisiibig sa iyo.
7 Kapayapaan nawa ang sumaloob ng inyong mga kuta, at kaginhawahan sa loob ng iyong mga palasio.
8 Dahil sa aking mga kapatid at aking mga kasama, aking sasabihin ngayon, kapayapaan ang sumaiyong loob.
9 Dahil sa bahay ng Panginoon nating Dios. Hahanapin ko ang iyong buti.
Psalm 122
New English Translation
Psalm 122[a]
A song of ascents;[b] by David.
122 I was glad because[c] they said to me,
“We will go to the Lord’s temple.”
2 Our feet are[d] standing
inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is a city designed
to accommodate an assembly.[e]
4 The tribes go up[f] there,[g]
the tribes of the Lord,
where it is required that Israel
give thanks to the name of the Lord.[h]
5 Indeed,[i] the leaders sit[j] there on thrones and make legal decisions,
on the thrones of the house of David.[k]
6 Pray[l] for the peace of Jerusalem.
May those who love her prosper.[m]
7 May there be peace inside your defenses,
and prosperity[n] inside your fortresses.[o]
8 For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors
I will say, “May there be peace in you.”
9 For the sake of the temple of the Lord our God
I will pray for you to prosper.[p]
Footnotes
- Psalm 122:1 sn Psalm 122. The psalmist expresses his love for Jerusalem and promises to pray for the city’s security.
- Psalm 122:1 sn The precise significance of this title, which appears in Pss 120-134, is unclear. Perhaps worshipers recited these psalms when they ascended the road to Jerusalem to celebrate annual religious festivals. For a discussion of their background see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 219-21.
- Psalm 122:1 tn Heb “in the ones saying to me.” After the verb שָׂמַח (samakh), the preposition ב (bet) usually introduces the reason for joy.
- Psalm 122:2 tn Or “were.”
- Psalm 122:3 tc Heb “Jerusalem, which is built like a city which is joined to her together.” The meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. Many regard this as a description of the compact way in which the city was designed or constructed. The translation assumes an emendation of the verb חֻבְּרָה (khubberah, “is joined”) to a noun חֶבְרָה (khevrah, “association; company”). The text then reads literally, “Jerusalem, which is built like a city which has a company together.” This in turn can be taken as a reference to Jerusalem’s role as a city where people congregated for religious festivals and other civic occasions (see vv. 4-5).
- Psalm 122:4 tn Or “went up.”
- Psalm 122:4 tn Heb “which is where the tribes go up.”
- Psalm 122:4 tn Heb “[it is] a statute for Israel to give thanks to the name of the Lord.”
- Psalm 122:5 tn Or “for.”
- Psalm 122:5 tn Or “sat.”
- Psalm 122:5 tn Heb “Indeed, there they sit [on] thrones for judgment, [on] thrones [belonging] to the house of David.”
- Psalm 122:6 tn Heb “ask [for].”
- Psalm 122:6 tn Or “be secure.”
- Psalm 122:7 tn or “security.”
- Psalm 122:7 tn The psalmist uses second feminine singular pronominal forms to address personified Jerusalem.
- Psalm 122:9 tn Heb “I will seek good for you.” The psalmist will seek Jerusalem’s “good” through prayer.
Psalm 122
Hoffnung für Alle
Frieden für Jerusalem!
122 Ein Lied von David für Festbesucher, die nach Jerusalem hinaufziehen.
Wie sehr habe ich mich gefreut, als man zu mir sagte:
»Komm mit, wir gehen zum Haus des Herrn!«
2 Nun sind wir endlich am Ziel!
Wir haben Jerusalems Tore durchschritten.
3 O Jerusalem, du herrliche Stadt,
wie unbezwingbar bist du gebaut!
4 Zu dir ziehen alle Stämme des Herrn hinauf –
ganz Israel will ihn dort preisen, so wie er es befahl.
5 Jerusalem, in dir regiert Davids Königshaus,
in dir spricht der König das Recht.
6 Betet für den Frieden Jerusalems!
Wer dich liebt, dem soll es gut ergehen!
7 Hinter deinen festen Mauern soll Frieden herrschen,
und in deinen Palästen soll man sicher wohnen!
8 Weil mir meine Verwandten und Freunde am Herzen liegen,
wünsche ich dir, Jerusalem, Frieden und Glück.
9 Weil in dir das Haus des Herrn, unseres Gottes, steht,
setze ich mich für dein Wohlergehen ein.
