Salamo 87

1 Amo vohitse miavakeo o faha’eo;

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Kokoa’ Iehovà mandikoatse ze hene kiboho’ Iakobe o lalam-bein-Tsiôneo.

Jehovah loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Raha fanjaka ty saontsieñe ty ama’o, ry rovan’Añahareo: Selà

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

4 Ho talilieko i Rahabe naho i Bavele o mahafohiñe Ahikoo; heheke ty Pilistý, naho i Tsore, miharo amy Kose; Nisamak’ añe ty raike toy.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among those who know me. Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This man was born there.

5 Fe ho volañeñe ty hoe e Tsiône ao: Intoy naho intia ro toly ama’e ao, i Andindimoneñey ty mañoreñ’ aze.

Yea, of Zion it shall be said, this and that man was born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.

6 Hañiake t’Iehovà, ho volilie’e ondatio: Nisamak’ ao toy. Selà

Jehovah will count when he writes up the peoples: This man was born there. (Selah)

7 Aa le hanao ty hoe o misaboo naho o mitsolio, hene ama’o o fandoparakoo.

Those who sing as well as those who dance shall say, All my fountains are in thee.
