Psalms 87

1 The city that Yahweh established is on his sacred hill.

Salimo la Ana a Kora. Iye wakhazikitsa maziko ake pa phiri loyera;

2 He loves that city, Jerusalem, more than he loves any other city in Israel.

Yehova amakonda zipata za Ziyoni kupambana malo onse okhalamo a Yakobo.

3 [You people in] [APO] the city that God (owns/lives in), people say wonderful things about your city.

Za ulemerero wako zimakambidwa, Iwe mzinda wa Mulungu: (Sela)

4 [Some of those who know about God are the people of] Egypt and Babylonia, and also [the people of] Philistia and Tyre and Ethiopia; [some day they all] will say, “[Although I was not born in Jerusalem], [because I belong to Yahweh, it is as though] I was born there.”

“Ndidzanena za Rahabe ndi Babuloni pakati pa iwo amene amandidziwa. Dzikonso la Filisitiya, Turo pamodzi ndi Kusi, ndipo ndidzati, ‘Uyu anabadwira mʼZiyoni.’”

5 And concerning Jerusalem, people will say [“It is as though] everyone was born there, and Almighty God will cause that city to remain strong/safe/secure.”

Ndithudi, za Ziyoni adzanena kuti, “Uyu ndi uyo anabadwira mwa iye, ndipo Wammwambamwamba adzakhazikitsa iyeyo.”

6 Yahweh will write a list of [the names of] the people of various groups [who belong to him], and he will say that [he considers them] all to be citizens of Jerusalem.

Yehova adzalemba mʼbuku la kawundula wa anthu a mitundu ina: “Uyu anabadwira mʼZiyoni.” (Sela)

7 They will all dance and sing, saying, “Jerusalem is the source of all our blessings.”

Oyimba ndi ovina omwe adzati, “Akasupe anga onse ali mwa iwe.”
