Psalms 87

1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

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

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

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

3 Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God.

Za ulemerero wako zimakambidwa, Iwe mzinda wa Mulungu: (Sela)

4 “I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

“Ndidzanena za Rahabe ndi Babuloni pakati pa iwo amene amandidziwa. Dzikonso la Filisitiya, Turo pamodzi ndi Kusi, ndipo ndidzati, ‘Uyu anabadwira mʼZiyoni.’”

5 And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

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

6 The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

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

7 Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”

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