Thaburi 87

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

“By the sons of Korach; a psalm or song.” It is founded by him on 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 those that know me; behold, here is Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: “This man 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 will it be said, “This and that man were born in her:” and the Most High himself doth establish her.

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

The Lord will number when he writeth down nations. “This man was born there.” (Selah)

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

And the singers as well as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs [of joy] are in thee.
