Thaburi 87

1 Thaburi ya Ariũ a Kora Nĩahaandĩte mũthingi wa itũũra rĩake igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩma kĩrĩa kĩamũre;

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

2 Jehova nĩendete ihingo cia Zayuni gũkĩra ciikaro iria ingĩ ciothe cia Jakubu.

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

3 Maũndũ mega nĩmaragio igũrũ rĩaku, wee itũũra inene rĩa Ngai:

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

4 “Nĩngwandĩka ũhoro wa Rahabu na wa Babuloni thĩinĩ wa arĩa manjũũĩ, Filistia o nakuo, na Turo, hamwe na Kushi, njuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ aaciarĩirwo Zayuni.’”

'I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among them that know Me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this one was born there.'

5 Ti-itherũ, ũhoro wa Zayuni ũkĩario nĩgũkagwetagwo atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ o na ũũrĩa maaciarĩirwo kuo, na Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno we mwene nĩagatũma gũtũũre kũrĩ kũrũmu.”

But of Zion it shall be said: 'This man and that was born in her; and the Most High Himself doth establish her.'

6 Jehova nĩakandĩka ibuku-inĩ rĩa kĩrĩndĩ ũũ: “Ũyũ aaciarĩirwo Zayuni.”

The LORD shall count in the register of the peoples: 'This one was born there.' (Selah)

7 Nao magĩtunga nyĩmbo makaina atĩrĩ, “Ithima ciakwa ciothe irĩ thĩinĩ waku.”

And whether they sing or dance, all my thoughts are in Thee.
