Psalms 87

1 For the Sons of Korah. A Melody, a Song. His foundation, is in the holy mountains:

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

2 Yahweh 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 to be spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

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

4 I will mention Rahab and Babylon, to them who know me—Lo! Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia, This one was 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 But, of Zion, it shall be said—This man and that were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

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

6 Yahweh, will record, when he enrolleth the peoples, This one was born there. (Selah)

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

7 As well the singers as the flute-players [are saying], —All my springs, are in thee!

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