Psalms 87

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

A IA no kona mau kumu ma na mauna hoano.

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

Ua oi aku ka makemake o Iehova i na pukapa o Ziona, Mamua o na wahi noho ai a pau o ka Iakoba.

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

Ua oleloia mai na mea nani nou, E ke kulanakauhale o ke Akua (Sila)

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

I ka poe ike mai ia'u, e kamailio aku au no Rahaba, a me Babulona: Aia o Pilisetia, a me Turo, a me Aitiopa, Oia ka i hanauia malaila.

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

E oleloia mai no hoi no Ziona, Ua hanauia kela kanaka keia kanaka maloko ona; A na ka Mea kiekie e hookumu paa ia wahi.

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

Ia Iehova e kakau ai i na kanaka, E hoike mai no oia, Ua hanauia oia nei malaila. (Sila)

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

O ka poe mele, a me ka poe hookiokio, Aia la iloko ou, kou mau punawai a pau.
