Psalms 87

1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Salimo la Ana a Kora. Iye wakhazikitsa maziko ake pa phiri loyera;

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

Yehova amakonda zipata za Ziyoni kupambana malo onse okhalamo a Yakobo.

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

Za ulemerero wako zimakambidwa, Iwe mzinda wa Mulungu: (Sela)

4 'I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know Me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.'

“Ndidzanena za Rahabe ndi Babuloni pakati pa iwo amene amandidziwa. Dzikonso la Filisitiya, Turo pamodzi ndi Kusi, ndipo ndidzati, ‘Uyu anabadwira mʼZiyoni.’”

5 But of Zion it shall be said: 'This man and that was born in her; and the Most High Himself doth establish her.'

Ndithudi, za Ziyoni adzanena kuti, “Uyu ndi uyo anabadwira mwa iye, ndipo Wammwambamwamba adzakhazikitsa iyeyo.”

6 The LORD shall count in the register of the peoples: 'This one was born there.' (Selah)

Yehova adzalemba mʼbuku la kawundula wa anthu a mitundu ina: “Uyu anabadwira mʼZiyoni.” (Sela)

7 And whether they sing or dance, all my thoughts are in Thee.

Oyimba ndi ovina omwe adzati, “Akasupe anga onse ali mwa iwe.”
