Psalms 87

1 “A psalm of the sons of Korah.” His foundation is in the holy mountains;

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

2 Jehovah 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 said of thee, O city of God! (Pause)

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

4 “I name Egypt and Babylon among them that know me; Behold! Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia, —They also were 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 And of Zion it shall be said, “Men of every nation were born there, And the Most High hath established her.”

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

6 Jehovah, when he numbereth the nations, shall write, “These were born there!” (Pause)

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

7 Singers as well as dancers, —All my springs are in thee!

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