Masalimo 87

1 Salimo la Ana a Kora. Iye wakhazikitsa maziko ake pa phiri loyera;

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

2 Yehova amakonda zipata za Ziyoni kupambana malo onse okhalamo a Yakobo.

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

3 Za ulemerero wako zimakambidwa, Iwe mzinda wa Mulungu: (Sela)

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

4 “Ndidzanena za Rahabe ndi Babuloni pakati pa iwo amene amandidziwa. Dzikonso la Filisitiya, Turo pamodzi ndi Kusi, ndipo ndidzati, ‘Uyu anabadwira mʼZiyoni.’”

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

5 Ndithudi, za Ziyoni adzanena kuti, “Uyu ndi uyo anabadwira mwa iye, ndipo Wammwambamwamba adzakhazikitsa iyeyo.”

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

6 Yehova adzalemba mʼbuku la kawundula wa anthu a mitundu ina: “Uyu anabadwira mʼZiyoni.” (Sela)

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

7 Oyimba ndi ovina omwe adzati, “Akasupe anga onse ali mwa iwe.”

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