Masalimo 87

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

A psalm of the sons of Korah; a song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

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

Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.

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

Glorious things are said of 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 mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush— and will say, 'This one was born there.'”

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

Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her; and the Most High himself will establish her.”

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

Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

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

So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”
