Psalms 87

1 Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song. On the holy mountain stands the city he founded.

Kathutkung: Korah capanaw Khopui teh mon ka thoung dawk a kangdue sak.

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

Jakop khosaknae pueng hlak hai BAWIPA ni Zion longkha a lungpatawhnawn.

3 Glorious things he is speaking of you, you city of God. (Selah)

Oe Cathut e khopui, na kong heh ka sungren poung lah ouk a dei awh. (Selah)

4 ‘Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, their people will say I was born in Zion.

Na kapanueknaw koe Rahab hoi Babilon kong hah ka dei han. Khenhaw! Oe Filistin hoi Taire, Ethiopia, hetheh, haw hoi ka tâcawt e doeh ati awh han.

5 As for Zion it will be said each and all were born in her.’ The Lord will preserve her.

Zion kong dawk hettelah a dei awh han. Het hoi hot teh ama dawk hoi ka tâcawt e doeh. Lathueng Poung ni a ma teh, a caksak telah ati awh han.

6 The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples, ‘This one was born there, and that one was born there.’ (Selah)

BAWIPA ni tami pueng min a thut toteh, hethateh, haw e ka tâcawt e doeh telah mitnout a ta awh han.

7 Singers and dancers alike will say ‘All my springs are in you.’

La kasaknaw hoi tumkhawng kakhawngnaw ni, tuiphuek pueng nang koe ao telah ati awh han.
