Psalms 87

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

Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Yawe atia moboko ya Siona na likolo ya bangomba ya bule.

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

Yawe alingaka bikuke ya Siona koleka bandako nyonso ya Jakobi.

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

Oh engumba ya Nzambe, maloba ya nkembo ezali kolobama na tina na yo!

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.'

Kati na bato oyo bayebi ngai, natangi Rahavi mpe Babiloni. Ezali kuna na Siona nde Filisitia, Tiri mpe Kushi ebimela.

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

Na tina na Siona, maloba oyo ekolobama: « Bato nyonso babimela awa, mpe ezali Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo nde alendisaka yango. »

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

Tango Yawe akomaki kati na buku ya bikolo, akomaki boye mpo na moko na moko kati na bango: « Moto songolo abotama kati na Siona! »

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

Mpe tango bayembaka mpe babinaka, balobaka: « Bitima na ngai nyonso ezali kati na yo! »
