Psalms 87

1 By sons of Korah. — A Psalm, a song. His foundation [is] in holy mountains.

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

2 Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

Yawe alingaka bikuke ya Siona koleka bandako nyonso ya Jakobi.

3 Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. (Selah)

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

4 I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! 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 And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth establish her.

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

6 Jehovah doth recount in the describing of 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 Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains [are] in Thee!

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