Psalms 87

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

Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ingoma. Usakhile isisekelo sakhe entabeni engcwele;

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

uThixo uyawathanda amasango eZiyoni okudlula yonke imizi kaJakhobe.

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

Izinto ezinhle okumangalisayo ziyatshiwo ngawe, we muzi kaNkulunkulu:

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.”

“Ngizabalisa uRahabi leBhabhiloni phakathi kwalabo abathi bayangazi iFilistiya leThire, kanye leKhushi ngibe sengisithi, ‘Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.’”

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

Ngempela kuzathiwa ngeZiyoni, “Lo laloyana bazalelwa khona, kuthi yena oPhezukonke uzaliqinisa.”

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

UThixo uzaloba eluhlwini lwamabizo abantu: “Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.”

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

Bazakuthi betshaya amachacho bahlabele bathi, “Yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.”
