Psalms 87

1 “By the sons of Korach; a psalm or song.” It is founded by him on holy mountains.

Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Wimbo. Ameuweka msingi wake katika mlima mtakatifu;

2 The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Bwana anayapenda malango ya Sayuni kuliko makao yote ya Yakobo.

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

Mambo matukufu yanasemwa juu yako, ee mji wa Mungu:

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as those that know me; behold, here is Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: “This man was born there.”

“Nitaweka kumbukumbu ya Rahabu na Babeli miongoni mwa wale wanaonikubali mimi: Ufilisti pia na Tiro, pamoja na Kushi, nami nitasema, ‘Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.’”

5 But of Zion will it be said, “This and that man were born in her:” and the Most High himself doth establish her.

Kuhusu Sayuni itasemwa hivi, “Huyu na yule walizaliwa humo, naye Aliye Juu Sana mwenyewe atamwimarisha.”

6 The Lord will number when he writeth down nations. “This man was born there.” (Selah)

Bwana ataandika katika orodha ya mataifa: “Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.”

7 And the singers as well as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs [of joy] are in thee.

Watakapokuwa wanapiga vinanda wataimba, “Chemchemi zangu zote ziko kwako.”
