Zaburi 87

1 Mji aliouanzisha umesimama juu ya mlima mtakatifu;

Of [the] sons of Korah a psalm a song foundation his [is] among [the] mountains of holiness.

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

[is] loving Yahweh [the] gates of Zion more than all [the] dwelling places of Jacob.

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

Glorious [things] [is] 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 will bring to remembrance - Rahab and Babylon to [those who] know me there! Philistia and Tyre with Cush this one it was born there.

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

And of Zion - it will be said a person and a person he was born in it and he he will establish it [the] Most High.

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

Yahweh he will count when records peoples this one he was born there (Selah)

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

And singers like pipers all springs my [are] in you.
