Zaburi 87

1 Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Wimbo. Ameuweka msingi wake katika mlima mtakatifu;

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Bwana anayapenda malango ya Sayuni kuliko makao yote ya Yakobo.

Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Mambo matukufu yanasemwa juu yako, ee mji wa Mungu:

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

4 “Nitaweka kumbukumbu ya Rahabu na Babeli miongoni mwa wale wanaonikubali mimi: Ufilisti pia na Tiro, pamoja na Kushi, nami nitasema, ‘Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.’”

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among those who know me. Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This man was born there.

5 Kuhusu Sayuni itasemwa hivi, “Huyu na yule walizaliwa humo, naye Aliye Juu Sana mwenyewe atamwimarisha.”

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, this and that man was born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.

6 Bwana ataandika katika orodha ya mataifa: “Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.”

Jehovah will count when he writes up the peoples: This man was born there. (Selah)

7 Watakapokuwa wanapiga vinanda wataimba, “Chemchemi zangu zote ziko kwako.”

Those who sing as well as those who dance shall say, All my fountains are in thee.
