1 コラの子の歌、さんび 主が基をすえられた都は聖なる山の上に立つ。

The city that Yahweh established is on his sacred hill.

2 主はヤコブのすべてのすまいにまさって、シオンのもろもろの門を愛される。

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

3 神の都よ、あなたについて、もろもろの栄光ある事が語られる。 (セラ)

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

4 わたしはラハブとバビロンをわたしを知る者のうちに挙げる。ペリシテ、ツロ、またエチオピヤを見よ。「この者はかしこに生れた」と言われる。

[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.”

5 しかしシオンについては「この者も、かの者もその中に生れた」と言われる。いと高き者みずからシオンを堅く立てられるからである。

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.”

6 主がもろもろの民を登録されるとき、「この者はかしこに生れた」としるされる。 (セラ)

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.

7 歌う者と踊る者はみな言う、「わがもろもろの泉はあなたのうちにある」と。

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