Zaburi 87

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

A Psalme or song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God layde his foundations among the holy mountaines.

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

The Lord loueth the gates of Zion aboue all the habitations of Iaakob.

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

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O citie 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 Babel among them that knowe me: beholde Palestina and Tyrus with Ethiopia, There is he borne.

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

And of Zion it shall be sayde, Many are borne in her: and he, euen the most High shall stablish her.

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

The Lord shall count, when hee writeth the people, He was borne there. (Selah)

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

Aswell the singers as the players on instruments shall prayse thee: all my springs are in thee.
