Psalms 87

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

Isisekelo sayo siphezu kwentaba ezingcwele.

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

INkosi iyawathanda amasango eZiyoni kulazo zonke indawo zokuhlala zikaJakobe.

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

Izinto ezidumileyo zikhulunywa ngawe, muzi kaNkulunkulu! (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.’”

Ngizaqamba iRahabi leBhabhiloni kwabangaziyo; khangela, iFilisti leTire kanye leEthiyophiya; lo wazalelwa khona.

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.”

LangeZiyoni kuzakuthiwa: Lo lalowayana bazalelwa kuyo. LoPhezukonke uqobo uzayiqinisa.

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

INkosi izabala ekubhaleni kwayo abantu, ukuthi lo wazalelwa khona. (Sela)

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

Labahlabeleli kanye labagidi, yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.
