Psalms 87

1 The city that Yahweh established is on his sacred hill.

Se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Se yon chante li ye. Bondye bati lavil li a sou mòn ki apa pou li a!

2 He loves that city, Jerusalem, more than he loves any other city in Israel.

Li renmen lavil Jerizalèm pi plis pase tout lòt kote nan peyi Jakòb la.

3 [You people in] [APO] the city that God (owns/lives in), people say wonderful things about your city.

Ou menm, lavil Bondye a, tande bèl bagay y'ap di sou ou:

4 [Some of those who know about God are the people of] Egypt and Babylonia, and also [the people of] Philistia and Tyre and Ethiopia; [some day they all] will say, “[Although I was not born in Jerusalem], [because I belong to Yahweh, it is as though] I was born there.”

Lè m'ap nonmen non moun k'ap sèvi m' yo, m'ap mete moun peyi Lejip, moun peyi Babilòn sou lis la. Moun peyi Filisti, moun peyi Tir ak moun peyi Etiopi, se Jerizalèm yo fèt.

5 And concerning Jerusalem, people will say [“It is as though] everyone was born there, and Almighty God will cause that city to remain strong/safe/secure.”

Lè moun ap pale sou mòn Siyon an yo di: -Yo rele l' manman, paske se la yo tout fèt. Se Bondye anwo nan syèl la ki mete l' kanpe.

6 Yahweh will write a list of [the names of] the people of various groups [who belong to him], and he will say that [he considers them] all to be citizens of Jerusalem.

Seyè a fè lis tout pèp yo, li fè yo tout pase pou moun lavil Jerizalèm.

7 They will all dance and sing, saying, “Jerusalem is the source of all our blessings.”

Moun k'ap chante yo ansanm ak moun k'ap danse yo ap repete byen fò: -Se ou menm ki manman nou tout.
