Halelu 87

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

Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song. On the holy mountain stands the city he founded.

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 he is speaking of you, you 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.

‘Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, their people will say I 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.

As for Zion it will be said each and all were born in her.’ The Lord will preserve her.

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

The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples, ‘This one was born there, and that one was born there.’ (Selah)

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

Singers and dancers alike will say ‘All my springs are in you.’
