Psalms 87

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

Nkunga bana ba Kole. Wutula fondasio andi ku mongo wunlongo.

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

Yave weti zola mielo mi Sioni viokila bibuangu bioso bimvuandanga Yakobi.

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

Mambu ma nkembo matubu mu diambu diaku; a divula di Nzambi.

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.'

“Ndiela yolukila Lahabi ayi Babiloni muidi bobo banzebi; tsi yi Filisiti ayi Tila va kimosi ayi Kutsi: ayi tuba: mutu wawu ku Sioni kabutukila”.

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

Buna mu diambu di Sioni; bela tuba: “Mutu wawu ayi mutu wuna, mu niandi babutukila” ayi Nzambi yizangama, niandi wela kumbieka.

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

Yave wela sonika batu mu buku: “mutu wawu ku Sioni kabutukila.”

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

Bu balembo budi miziki, bela yimbila: “zitho ziama zioso zidi mu ngeyo.”
