Psalmowo 87

1 Korah ƒe viwo ƒe ha. Eɖo eƒe agunu anyi ɖe to Kɔkɔe la dzi.

For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:

2 Yehowa lɔ̃ Zion ƒe agbowo wu Yakob ƒe nɔƒewo katã.

The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

3 O! Mawu ƒe du, wogblɔ nu nyui geɖewo tso ŋuwò. (Sela)

Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.

4 “Maŋlɔ Rahab kple Babilon ƒe ŋkɔ ɖe ame siwo nyam la dome, nenema kee nye Filistia kple Tiro hekpe ɖe Kus ŋuti, magblɔ be, ‘Wodzi esia le Zion.’”

I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.

5 Vavã, woagblɔ le Zion ŋu be, “Wodzi esia kple ekemɛ le afi ma, eye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ŋutɔ aɖo egɔme anyi.”

Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.

6 Yehowa aŋlɔ ɖe dukɔwo ƒe agbalẽ me be, “Wodzi esia le Zion.” (Sela)

The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.

7 Ne wole ha dzim la, woadzi ha be, “Nye agunuwo katã le mewò.”

The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
