Sòm 87

1 Se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Se yon chante li ye. Bondye bati lavil li a sou mòn ki apa pou li a!

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Li renmen lavil Jerizalèm pi plis pase tout lòt kote nan peyi Jakòb la.

Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Ou menm, lavil Bondye a, tande bèl bagay y'ap di sou ou:

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

4 Lè m'ap nonmen non moun k'ap sèvi m' yo, m'ap mete moun peyi Lejip, moun peyi Babilòn sou lis la. Moun peyi Filisti, moun peyi Tir ak moun peyi Etiopi, se Jerizalèm yo fèt.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among those who know me. Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This man was born there.

5 Lè moun ap pale sou mòn Siyon an yo di: -Yo rele l' manman, paske se la yo tout fèt. Se Bondye anwo nan syèl la ki mete l' kanpe.

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, this and that man was born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.

6 Seyè a fè lis tout pèp yo, li fè yo tout pase pou moun lavil Jerizalèm.

Jehovah will count when he writes up the peoples: This man was born there. (Selah)

7 Moun k'ap chante yo ansanm ak moun k'ap danse yo ap repete byen fò: -Se ou menm ki manman nou tout.

Those who sing as well as those who dance shall say, All my fountains are in thee.
