Halelu 87

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

A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation [is] in 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 loveth 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 spoken of thee, O city 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.

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

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

The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, [that] this [man] was born there. (Selah)

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

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