Zaburi 87

1 Mji aliouanzisha umesimama juu ya mlima mtakatifu;

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

2 Yahwe anapenda zaidi malango ya Sayuni kuliko mahema yote ya Yakobo.

The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Mambo matukufu yamesemwa kwako, mji wa Mungu. (Selah)

Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God.

4 Ninataja Rahabu na Babeli kwa wafuasi wangu. Tazama, Filisti, na Tiro, pamoja na Ethiopia nao watasema, 'Huyu alizaliwa humo.'”

“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

5 Itasemwa juu ya Sayuni, “Kila mmoja wa hawa alizaliwa katika yeye; na yeye Aliye Juu atamuimarisha.

And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

6 Yahwe anaandika katika kitabau cha sensa ya mataifa, “Huyu alizaliwa humo.” (Selah)

The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

7 Hivyo waimbaji na wachezaji kwa pamoja waseme, “chemchem zangu zimo kwako.”

Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
