Saam 87

1 Korah caanawk ih Saam laa. Anih angdoethaih ahmuen loe angmah ih kaciim mae ah oh.

A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Its foundations are in the holy mountains:

2 Angraeng loe Jakob ohhaih ahmuennawk boih pongah doeh, Zion ih khongkhanawk to palung kue.

the Lord loves the gates of Zion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

3 Aw Sithaw vangpui, nihcae mah na lensawkhaih hmuennawk to thuih o. (Selah)

Glorious things are being said of you, O City of God.

4 Kai panoek kaminawk khaeah Rahab hoi Babylon to ka thuih han; Philistia, Tura hoi Ethiopia kaminawk to khenah; hae kami loe to vangpui ah ni tapen.

I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold, the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these have been there.

5 Hae ih kaminawk hoi ho ih kaminawk loe to vangpui ah ni tapen; Kasang koek, angmah roe mah, to vangpui to caksak tih, tiah Zion kawng to thui o tih boeh.

Will not Zion say that this man and that man were born in her? And the Most High himself has founded her.

6 Angraeng mah kaminawk ih ahmin to tarik naah, hae kami loe to ahmuen ah ni tapen, tiah pakuem tih. (Selah)

The Lord will explain, in the writings of peoples and of leaders, about those who have been in her.

7 Laasah kaminawk, katoeng kruek moe, tamoi ueng kaminawk boih mah, kaicae anghoehaihnawk boih loe nang khaeah ni oh, tiah thui o tih.

For so the dwelling place within you is with all rejoicing.
