Zaburi 87

1 Mji aliouanzisha umesimama juu ya mlima mtakatifu;

A psalm of the sons of Korah; a song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

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

Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are said of you, 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 Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush— and will say, 'This one was born there.'”

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

Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her; and the Most High himself will establish her.”

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

Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

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

So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”
