Zaburi 87

1 Mji aliouanzisha umesimama juu ya mlima mtakatifu;

A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in 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 spoken about 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 will record Rahab and Babylon amongst those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

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

Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.

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

The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

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

Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”
