Masalimo 87

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

A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation [is] in the holy mountains.

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

The LORD loveth 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 of thee, O 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 make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush; this [man] was born there.

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

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the Highest himself shall establish her.

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

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, [that] this [man] was born there. (Selah)

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

As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall be there]: all my springs [are] in thee.
