Psalms 87

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

Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ingoma. Usakhile isisekelo sakhe entabeni engcwele;

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

uThixo uyawathanda amasango eZiyoni okudlula yonke imizi kaJakhobe.

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

Izinto ezinhle okumangalisayo ziyatshiwo ngawe, we muzi kaNkulunkulu:

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.’”

“Ngizabalisa uRahabi leBhabhiloni phakathi kwalabo abathi bayangazi iFilistiya leThire, kanye leKhushi ngibe sengisithi, ‘Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.’”

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.”

Ngempela kuzathiwa ngeZiyoni, “Lo laloyana bazalelwa khona, kuthi yena oPhezukonke uzaliqinisa.”

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

UThixo uzaloba eluhlwini lwamabizo abantu: “Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.”

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

Bazakuthi betshaya amachacho bahlabele bathi, “Yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.”
