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.

The LORD 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 you, 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 to them that 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.

And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her.

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

The LORD shall count, when he writes up the people, that 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.

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in you.
