Halelu 87

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

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. This house is resting on the holy mountain.

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 has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

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

Noble things are said of you, O town of God. (Selah)

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.

Rahab and Babylon will be named among those who have knowledge of me; see, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man had his birth there.

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 of Zion it will be said, This or that man had his birth there; and the Most High will make her strong.

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

The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah)

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

The players on instruments will be there, and the dancers will say, All my springs are in you.
