Psalms 87

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

Salamo nataon’ ny Koraïta. Tonon-kira.

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

Ny vavahadin’ i Ziona dia tian’ i Jehovah mihoatra noho ny fonenana rehetra izay an’ i Jakoba.

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

Zava-malaza no anambarana anao Ry tanànan’ Andriamanitra. (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.”

Hanonona an-dRahaba sy Babylona Aho ho isan’ izay mahalala ahy; Indro Filistia sy Tyro mbamin’ i Etiopia, Ity no efa teraka teo.

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.”

Ary Ziona hilazana hoe: Ireto sy ireroa samy efa teraka teo; Ary ny Avo Indrindra no mampitoetra azy.

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.

Jehovah hanisa, raha manoratra ny firenena Izy: Ity no efa teraka teo. (Sela)

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

Hoy izay mihira sy mandihy: Ny loharanoko rehetra dia ao aminao.
