< Psalms 87 >
1 [A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song.] His foundation is in the holy mountains.
Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ingoma. Usakhile isisekelo sakhe entabeni engcwele;
2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
uThixo uyawathanda amasango eZiyoni okudlula yonke imizi kaJakhobe.
3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. (Selah)
Izinto ezinhle okumangalisayo ziyatshiwo ngawe, we muzi kaNkulunkulu:
4 I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Look, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: "This one was born there."
“Ngizabalisa uRahabi leBhabhiloni phakathi kwalabo abathi bayangazi iFilistiya leThire, kanye leKhushi ngibe sengisithi, ‘Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.’”
5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one was born in her;" the Most High himself will establish her.
Ngempela kuzathiwa ngeZiyoni, “Lo laloyana bazalelwa khona, kuthi yena oPhezukonke uzaliqinisa.”
6 The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, "This one was born there." (Selah)
UThixo uzaloba eluhlwini lwamabizo abantu: “Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.”
7 And those who sing as well as the pipers: "My whole source of joy is in you."
Bazakuthi betshaya amachacho bahlabele bathi, “Yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.”
