Psalms 87

1 Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. His foundation is in the mountains of holiness.

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

2 Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob.

uThixo uyawathanda amasango eZiyoni okudlula yonke imizi kaJakhobe.

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

Izinto ezinhle okumangalisayo ziyatshiwo ngawe, we muzi kaNkulunkulu:

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this [man] was born there.

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

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

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

6 Jehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This [man] was born there. (Selah)

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

7 As well the singers as the dancers [shall say], All my springs are in thee.

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