Zaburi 87

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

For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:

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

The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.

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 be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.

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

Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.

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

The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.

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

The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
