Psalms 87

1 A psalm of the sons of Korah; a song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ingoma. Usakhile isisekelo sakhe entabeni engcwele;

2 Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.

uThixo uyawathanda amasango eZiyoni okudlula yonke imizi kaJakhobe.

3 Glorious things are said of you, city of God. (Selah)

Izinto ezinhle okumangalisayo ziyatshiwo ngawe, we muzi kaNkulunkulu:

4 “I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush— and will say, 'This one was born there.'”

“Ngizabalisa uRahabi leBhabhiloni phakathi kwalabo abathi bayangazi iFilistiya leThire, kanye leKhushi ngibe sengisithi, ‘Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.’”

5 Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her; and the Most High himself will establish her.”

Ngempela kuzathiwa ngeZiyoni, “Lo laloyana bazalelwa khona, kuthi yena oPhezukonke uzaliqinisa.”

6 Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

UThixo uzaloba eluhlwini lwamabizo abantu: “Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.”

7 So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”

Bazakuthi betshaya amachacho bahlabele bathi, “Yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.”
