Psalms 87

1 A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. The Lord founded the city on his holy mountain.

Mji aliouanzisha umesimama juu ya mlima mtakatifu;

2 Jerusalem is the city that the Lord loves more than any other city in Israel.

Yahwe anapenda zaidi malango ya Sayuni kuliko mahema yote ya Yakobo.

3 Many wonderful things are said of you, city of God! (Selah)

Mambo matukufu yamesemwa kwako, mji wa Mungu. (Selah)

4 I mention Egypt and Babylon as those who know me, and in addition Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia—“this man was born there.”

Ninataja Rahabu na Babeli kwa wafuasi wangu. Tazama, Filisti, na Tiro, pamoja na Ethiopia nao watasema, 'Huyu alizaliwa humo.'”

5 It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,” and the Most High will make it secure.

Itasemwa juu ya Sayuni, “Kila mmoja wa hawa alizaliwa katika yeye; na yeye Aliye Juu atamuimarisha.

6 When the Lord registers the nations, he will write, “They were born there.” (Selah)

Yahwe anaandika katika kitabau cha sensa ya mataifa, “Huyu alizaliwa humo.” (Selah)

7 Singers and dancers alike say, “Living here I am at home.”

Hivyo waimbaji na wachezaji kwa pamoja waseme, “chemchem zangu zimo kwako.”
