Psalms 87

1 “By the sons of Korach; a psalm or song.” It is founded by him on holy mountains.

Zaburi mar yawuot Kora. Wer. Oseguro mise mare ewi got maler;

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

Jehova Nyasaye ohero rangeye mag Sayun, moloyo kuonde dak duto mag Jakobo.

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

Ji wacho gik madongo kuomi, yaye dala maduongʼ mar Nyasaye: (Sela)

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as those that know me; behold, here is Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: “This man was born there.”

“Abiro kwano Rahab gi Babulon e kanyakla mar joma ongʼeya, nyaka Filistia bende, kod Turo, kaachiel gi Kush kendo abiro wacho ni, ‘Ngʼatni nonywol ei Sayun.’”

5 But of Zion will it be said, “This and that man were born in her:” and the Most High himself doth establish her.

Adier, nowachi kuom Sayun niya, “En min ogendini mathoth, kendo Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo owuon biro chunge.”

6 The Lord will number when he writeth down nations. “This man was born there.” (Selah)

Jehova Nyasaye biro ndiko e kitabu mindikoe nying ogendini kama: “Jali nonywol ei Sayun.” (Sela)

7 And the singers as well as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs [of joy] are in thee.

Sa ma giloso wer to giniwer niya, “Soknina duto ni e iyi.”
