1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.'

Waan farxay markay igu yidhaahdeen, Ina keena, aan guriga Rabbiga tagnee.

2 O ur feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!

Yeruusaalemay, cagahayagu Waxay taagan yihiin irdahaaga gudahooda,

3 J erusalem -- the builded one -- as a city that is joined to itself together.

Yeruusaalem waxaa loo dhisay Sida magaalo isku wada dheggan,

4 F or thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

Halkaasay qabiilooyinka, oo ah qabiilooyinka Rabbigu kor ugu baxaan Inay Israa'iil u marag furaan, Iyo inay magaca Rabbiga ku mahadnaqaan.

5 F or there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.

Waayo, waxaa yaalla carshiyo garsoorid loo dhigay, Waana carshiyadii reerka Daa'uud.

6 A sk ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.

Yeruusaalem nabad ugu duceeya. Kuwa ku jecelu way barwaaqoobi doonaan.

7 P eace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,

Nabadu ha ku jirto derbiyadaada gudahooda, Barwaaqona ha ku jirto daarahaaga dhaadheer.

8 F or the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace in thee.'

Walaalahay iyo rafiiqyadayda daraaddood Ayaan hadda waxaan odhanayaa, Nabadu gudahaaga ha ku jirto.

9 F or the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!

Rabbiga Ilaahayaga gurigiisa daraaddiis Ayaan wanaaggaaga u doondooni doonaa.
