Psalms 87

1 A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Mji aliouanzisha umesimama juu ya mlima mtakatifu;

2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Yahwe anapenda zaidi malango ya Sayuni kuliko mahema yote ya Yakobo.

3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. (Selah)

Mambo matukufu yamesemwa kwako, mji wa Mungu. (Selah)

4 I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

Ninataja Rahabu na Babeli kwa wafuasi wangu. Tazama, Filisti, na Tiro, pamoja na Ethiopia nao watasema, 'Huyu alizaliwa humo.'”

5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.

Itasemwa juu ya Sayuni, “Kila mmoja wa hawa alizaliwa katika yeye; na yeye Aliye Juu atamuimarisha.

6 The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

Yahwe anaandika katika kitabau cha sensa ya mataifa, “Huyu alizaliwa humo.” (Selah)

7 Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”

Hivyo waimbaji na wachezaji kwa pamoja waseme, “chemchem zangu zimo kwako.”
