Zaburi 87

1 Zaburi ya wana wa Kora. Wimbo. Ameuweka msingi wake katika mlima mtakatifu;

[A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song.] His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Bwana anayapenda malango ya Sayuni kuliko makao yote ya Yakobo.

Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Mambo matukufu yanasemwa juu yako, ee mji wa Mungu:

Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. (Selah)

4 “Nitaweka kumbukumbu ya Rahabu na Babeli miongoni mwa wale wanaonikubali mimi: Ufilisti pia na Tiro, pamoja na Kushi, nami nitasema, ‘Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.’”

I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Look, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: "This one was born there."

5 Kuhusu Sayuni itasemwa hivi, “Huyu na yule walizaliwa humo, naye Aliye Juu Sana mwenyewe atamwimarisha.”

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

6 Bwana ataandika katika orodha ya mataifa: “Huyu alizaliwa Sayuni.”

Jehovah will count, when he writes up the peoples, "This one was born there." (Selah)

7 Watakapokuwa wanapiga vinanda wataimba, “Chemchemi zangu zote ziko kwako.”

And those who sing as well as the pipers: "My whole source of joy is in you."
