Psalms 87

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

Anih ing a tlang ciim awh dyih hun sai hy;

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

Jacob a awmnaak hunkhqi boeih anglakawh Zion chawmkeng ce BAWPA ing lungnak khqoet hy.

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

Nang a boeimangnaak ce kqawn uhy, Aw Khawsa a Khawk bau;

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.”

Kai anik simkhqi anglakawh Rahab ingkaw Babylon ce khoem kawng nyng – Philistia awm, Tura ingkaw Kush ing haih awh - Ve ak thalng taw Zion awh thang hy,” ti kawng nyng.

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.”

Zion awh vemyihna a nak kqawn kawm uh, “Vawhkaw ingkaw cawhkaw ce anih ing cuun nawh, Sawsang Soeih ing anih ce caksak kaw,” tinawh.

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.

Thlang boeih ang ming khoemnaak cauk awh Bawipa ing “Ve ak thlang taw Zion awh thang hy,” tinawh qee kaw.

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

Tumding tum kawm usaw, “Ka zeelnaak tui bym boeih taw nang awh ni a awm,” tinawh laa sa kawm uh.
