Salamo 87

1 Salamo nataon’ ny Koraïta. Tonon-kira.

“A psalm of the sons of Korah.” His foundation is in the holy mountains;

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

Jehovah 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 said of thee, O city of God! (Pause)

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 name Egypt and Babylon among them that know me; Behold! Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia, —They also were born there.”

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

And of Zion it shall be said, “Men of every nation were born there, And the Most High hath established her.”

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

Jehovah, when he numbereth the nations, shall write, “These were born there!” (Pause)

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

Singers as well as dancers, —All my springs are in thee!
