Psalms 87

1 A Psalm of the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Yawe atia moboko ya Siona na likolo ya bangomba ya bule.

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

Yawe alingaka bikuke ya Siona koleka bandako nyonso ya Jakobi.

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

Oh engumba ya Nzambe, maloba ya nkembo ezali kolobama na tina na yo!

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.

Kati na bato oyo bayebi ngai, natangi Rahavi mpe Babiloni. Ezali kuna na Siona nde Filisitia, Tiri mpe Kushi ebimela.

5 Yea, of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

Na tina na Siona, maloba oyo ekolobama: « Bato nyonso babimela awa, mpe ezali Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo nde alendisaka yango. »

6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the peoples, this one was born there. (Selah)

Tango Yawe akomaki kati na buku ya bikolo, akomaki boye mpo na moko na moko kati na bango: « Moto songolo abotama kati na Siona! »

7 They that sing as well as they that dance [shall say], All my fountains are in thee.

Mpe tango bayembaka mpe babinaka, balobaka: « Bitima na ngai nyonso ezali kati na yo! »
