Salamo 87

1 Salamo nataon’ ny Koraïta. Tonon-kira.

“By the sons of Korach; a psalm or song.” It is founded by him on holy mountains.

2 Ny vavahadin’ i Ziona dia tian’ i Jehovah mihoatra noho ny fonenana rehetra izay an’ i Jakoba.

The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Zava-malaza no anambarana anao Ry tanànan’ Andriamanitra. (Sela)

Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. (Selah)

4 Hanonona an-dRahaba sy Babylona Aho ho isan’ izay mahalala ahy; Indro Filistia sy Tyro mbamin’ i Etiopia, Ity no efa teraka teo.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as those that know me; behold, here is Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: “This man was born there.”

5 Ary Ziona hilazana hoe: Ireto sy ireroa samy efa teraka teo; Ary ny Avo Indrindra no mampitoetra azy.

But of Zion will it be said, “This and that man were born in her:” and the Most High himself doth establish her.

6 Jehovah hanisa, raha manoratra ny firenena Izy: Ity no efa teraka teo. (Sela)

The Lord will number when he writeth down nations. “This man was born there.” (Selah)

7 Hoy izay mihira sy mandihy: Ny loharanoko rehetra dia ao aminao.

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