Psalms 87

1 A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Its foundations are in the holy mountains:

Mji aliouanzisha umesimama juu ya mlima mtakatifu;

2 the Lord loves the gates of Zion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

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

3 Glorious things are being said of you, O City of God.

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

4 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold, the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these have been there.

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

5 Will not Zion say that this man and that man were born in her? And the Most High himself has founded her.

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

6 The Lord will explain, in the writings of peoples and of leaders, about those who have been in her.

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

7 For so the dwelling place within you is with all rejoicing.

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