Psalms 87

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha. Eɖo eƒe agunu anyi ɖe to Kɔkɔe la dzi.

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

Yehowa lɔ̃ Zion ƒe agbowo wu Yakob ƒe nɔƒewo katã.

3 Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

O! Mawu ƒe du, wogblɔ nu nyui geɖewo tso ŋuwò. (Sela)

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among those who know me. Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This man was born there.

“Maŋlɔ Rahab kple Babilon ƒe ŋkɔ ɖe ame siwo nyam la dome, nenema kee nye Filistia kple Tiro hekpe ɖe Kus ŋuti, magblɔ be, ‘Wodzi esia le Zion.’”

5 Yea, of Zion it shall be said, this and that man was born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.

Vavã, woagblɔ le Zion ŋu be, “Wodzi esia kple ekemɛ le afi ma, eye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ŋutɔ aɖo egɔme anyi.”

6 Jehovah will count when he writes up the peoples: This man was born there. (Selah)

Yehowa aŋlɔ ɖe dukɔwo ƒe agbalẽ me be, “Wodzi esia le Zion.” (Sela)

7 Those who sing as well as those who dance shall say, All my fountains are in thee.

Ne wole ha dzim la, woadzi ha be, “Nye agunuwo katã le mewò.”
