Zaburi 87

1 Mji aliouanzisha umesimama juu ya mlima mtakatifu;

A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. A SONG. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.

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

YHWH is loving the gates of Zion Above all the dwelling places of Jacob.

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

Honorable things are spoken in You, O city of God. (Selah)

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

I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there.

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

And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, establishes her.

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

YHWH recounts in the describing of the peoples, “This [one] was born there.” (Selah)

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

Also singers as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in You!
