< स्तोत्रसंहिता 87 >
1 १ परमेश्वराचे नगर पवित्र पर्वतावर स्थापले आहे.
The city that Yahweh established is on his sacred hill.
2 २ याकोबाच्या सर्व तंबूपेक्षा परमेश्वरास सियोनेचे द्वार अधिक प्रिय आहे.
He loves that city, Jerusalem, more than he loves any other city in Israel.
3 ३ हे देवाच्या नगरी, तुझ्याविषयी गौरवाच्या गोष्टी सांगितल्या आहेत.
[You people in] [APO] the city that God (owns/lives in), people say wonderful things about your city.
4 ४ राहाब आणि बाबेल माझे अनुयायी आहेत असे मी सांगेन. पाहा, पलिष्टी, सोर व कूश म्हणतात त्यांचा जन्म तेथलाच.
[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 ५ सियोनेविषयी असे म्हणतील की, हा प्रत्येक तिच्यात जन्मला होता; आणि परात्पर स्वतः तिला प्रस्थापित करील.
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 ६ लोकांची नोंदणी करताना, ह्याचा जन्म तेथलाच होता असे परमेश्वर लिहील.
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 ७ गायन करणारे आणि वाद्ये वाजवणारेही म्हणतील की, माझ्या सर्व पाण्याचे झरे तुझ्यात आहेत.”
They will all dance and sing, saying, “Jerusalem is the source of all our blessings.”
