Psalms 87

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

Salimo la Ana a Kora. Iye wakhazikitsa maziko ake pa phiri loyera;

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

Yehova amakonda zipata za Ziyoni kupambana malo onse okhalamo a Yakobo.

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

Za ulemerero wako zimakambidwa, Iwe mzinda wa Mulungu: (Sela)

4 I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

“Ndidzanena za Rahabe ndi Babuloni pakati pa iwo amene amandidziwa. Dzikonso la Filisitiya, Turo pamodzi ndi Kusi, ndipo ndidzati, ‘Uyu anabadwira mʼZiyoni.’”

5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.

Ndithudi, za Ziyoni adzanena kuti, “Uyu ndi uyo anabadwira mwa iye, ndipo Wammwambamwamba adzakhazikitsa iyeyo.”

6 The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

Yehova adzalemba mʼbuku la kawundula wa anthu a mitundu ina: “Uyu anabadwira mʼZiyoni.” (Sela)

7 Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”

Oyimba ndi ovina omwe adzati, “Akasupe anga onse ali mwa iwe.”
