Psalms 87

1 A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

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

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

uThixo uyawathanda amasango eZiyoni okudlula yonke imizi kaJakhobe.

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

Izinto ezinhle okumangalisayo ziyatshiwo ngawe, we muzi kaNkulunkulu:

4 I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush; this man was born there.

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

5 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the Highest himself shall establish her.

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

6 The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. (Selah)

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

7 As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

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