Halelu 87

1 A IA no kona mau kumu ma na mauna hoano.

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A song. He has founded His city on the holy mountains.

2 Ua oi aku ka makemake o Iehova i na pukapa o Ziona, Mamua o na wahi noho ai a pau o ka Iakoba.

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

3 Ua oleloia mai na mea nani nou, E ke kulanakauhale o ke Akua (Sila)

Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God.

4 I ka poe ike mai ia'u, e kamailio aku au no Rahaba, a me Babulona: Aia o Pilisetia, a me Turo, a me Aitiopa, Oia ka i hanauia malaila.

“I will mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me— along with Philistia, Tyre, and Cush — when I say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”

5 E oleloia mai no hoi no Ziona, Ua hanauia kela kanaka keia kanaka maloko ona; A na ka Mea kiekie e hookumu paa ia wahi.

And it will be said of Zion: “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High Himself will establish her.”

6 Ia Iehova e kakau ai i na kanaka, E hoike mai no oia, Ua hanauia oia nei malaila. (Sila)

The LORD will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.”

7 O ka poe mele, a me ka poe hookiokio, Aia la iloko ou, kou mau punawai a pau.

Singers and pipers will proclaim, “All my springs of joy are in You.”
