Psalms 87

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

Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Oluyimba. Atadde emisingi gye ku lusozi olutukuvu.

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

Mukama ayagala emiryango gya Sayuuni okusinga ennyumba zonna eza Yakobo.

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

Ebintu eby’ekitiibwa bikwogerwako, ggwe ekibuga kya Katonda.

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.”

“Mu mawanga ge mmanyi mwe muli Lakabu, ne Babulooni; era ndyogera ku Bufirisuuti, ne ku Ttuulo ne ku Esiyopya nti, ‘Ono yazaalirwa mu Sayuuni.’”

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

Bwe baliba boogera ku Sayuuni baligamba nti, “Ono n’oli baazaalirwa omwo,” n’oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo alikinyweza.

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

Mukama aliwandiika mu kitabo bw’ati, omuli amannya g’abantu nti, “Ono yazaalibwa omwo.”

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

Banaakubanga ebivuga nga bwe bayimba nti, “Ensulo zange zonna ziri mu ggwe.”
