Zaburi 87

1 Zaburi mar yawuot Kora. Wer. Oseguro mise mare ewi got maler;

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

2 Jehova Nyasaye ohero rangeye mag Sayun, moloyo kuonde dak duto mag Jakobo.

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

3 Ji wacho gik madongo kuomi, yaye dala maduongʼ mar Nyasaye: (Sela)

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

4 “Abiro kwano Rahab gi Babulon e kanyakla mar joma ongʼeya, nyaka Filistia bende, kod Turo, kaachiel gi Kush kendo abiro wacho ni, ‘Ngʼatni nonywol ei Sayun.’”

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 Adier, nowachi kuom Sayun niya, “En min ogendini mathoth, kendo Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo owuon biro chunge.”

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

6 Jehova Nyasaye biro ndiko e kitabu mindikoe nying ogendini kama: “Jali nonywol ei Sayun.” (Sela)

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

7 Sa ma giloso wer to giniwer niya, “Soknina duto ni e iyi.”

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