Amahubo 87

1 Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ingoma. Usakhile isisekelo sakhe entabeni engcwele;

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. This house is resting on the holy mountain.

2 uThixo uyawathanda amasango eZiyoni okudlula yonke imizi kaJakhobe.

The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

3 Izinto ezinhle okumangalisayo ziyatshiwo ngawe, we muzi kaNkulunkulu:

Noble things are said of you, O town of God. (Selah)

4 “Ngizabalisa uRahabi leBhabhiloni phakathi kwalabo abathi bayangazi iFilistiya leThire, kanye leKhushi ngibe sengisithi, ‘Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.’”

Rahab and Babylon will be named among those who have knowledge of me; see, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man had his birth there.

5 Ngempela kuzathiwa ngeZiyoni, “Lo laloyana bazalelwa khona, kuthi yena oPhezukonke uzaliqinisa.”

And of Zion it will be said, This or that man had his birth there; and the Most High will make her strong.

6 UThixo uzaloba eluhlwini lwamabizo abantu: “Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.”

The Lord will keep in mind, when he is writing the records of the people, that this man had his birth there. (Selah)

7 Bazakuthi betshaya amachacho bahlabele bathi, “Yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.”

The players on instruments will be there, and the dancers will say, All my springs are in you.
