Psalms 87

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

[Psalm Lun Tulik Natul Korah] LEUM GOD El musaela siti sel fineol mutal.

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

El lungse siti Jerusalem Yohk liki kutena acn saya in Israel.

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

Porongo, O kowos su mwet in siti lun God, Ke ma wolana ma El fahk keiwos:

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.”

“Nga ac fah oakla acn Egypt ac Babylonia Ke nga takunla inen mutunfacl su akosyu; Mwet Philistia, Tyre, ac Ethiopia Nga ac fah oakalos pac inmasrlon mwet su muta Jerusalem.”

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.”

Ac mwet uh fah fahk Tuh mutanfahl nukewa elos mwet Zion, Ac El su Kulana fah oru tuh Zion in ku.

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.

LEUM GOD El ac simusla inen mwet inge, Ac oakalosyang nukewa nu ke mwet Jerusalem.

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

Elos ac fah onsrosro ac fahk, “Mwe insewowo lasr nukewa tuku Zion me.”
