Psalms 87

1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Nkunga bana ba Kole. Wutula fondasio andi ku mongo wunlongo.

2 Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Yave weti zola mielo mi Sioni viokila bibuangu bioso bimvuandanga Yakobi.

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

Mambu ma nkembo matubu mu diambu diaku; a divula di Nzambi.

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

“Ndiela yolukila Lahabi ayi Babiloni muidi bobo banzebi; tsi yi Filisiti ayi Tila va kimosi ayi Kutsi: ayi tuba: mutu wawu ku Sioni kabutukila”.

5 Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; And the Most High himself will establish her.

Buna mu diambu di Sioni; bela tuba: “Mutu wawu ayi mutu wuna, mu niandi babutukila” ayi Nzambi yizangama, niandi wela kumbieka.

6 Jehovah will count, when he writeth up the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

Yave wela sonika batu mu buku: “mutu wawu ku Sioni kabutukila.”

7 They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say], All my fountains are in thee.

Bu balembo budi miziki, bela yimbila: “zitho ziama zioso zidi mu ngeyo.”
