Psalms 87

1 A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. The Lord founded the city on his holy mountain.

Anih ing a tlang ciim awh dyih hun sai hy;

2 Jerusalem is the city that the Lord loves more than any other city in Israel.

Jacob a awmnaak hunkhqi boeih anglakawh Zion chawmkeng ce BAWPA ing lungnak khqoet hy.

3 Many wonderful things are said of you, city of God! (Selah)

Nang a boeimangnaak ce kqawn uhy, Aw Khawsa a Khawk bau;

4 I mention Egypt and Babylon as those who know me, and in addition Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia—“this man was born there.”

Kai anik simkhqi anglakawh Rahab ingkaw Babylon ce khoem kawng nyng – Philistia awm, Tura ingkaw Kush ing haih awh - Ve ak thalng taw Zion awh thang hy,” ti kawng nyng.

5 It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,” and the Most High will make it secure.

Zion awh vemyihna a nak kqawn kawm uh, “Vawhkaw ingkaw cawhkaw ce anih ing cuun nawh, Sawsang Soeih ing anih ce caksak kaw,” tinawh.

6 When the Lord registers the nations, he will write, “They were born there.” (Selah)

Thlang boeih ang ming khoemnaak cauk awh Bawipa ing “Ve ak thlang taw Zion awh thang hy,” tinawh qee kaw.

7 Singers and dancers alike say, “Living here I am at home.”

Tumding tum kawm usaw, “Ka zeelnaak tui bym boeih taw nang awh ni a awm,” tinawh laa sa kawm uh.
