Amahubo 87

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

Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. A Song. His foundation is in the mountains of holiness.

2 uThixo uyawathanda amasango eZiyoni okudlula yonke imizi kaJakhobe.

Jehovah loveth the gates of Zion more than all the habitations of Jacob.

3 Izinto ezinhle okumangalisayo ziyatshiwo ngawe, we muzi kaNkulunkulu:

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

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

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon among them that know me; behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: this [man] was born there.

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

And of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High himself shall establish her.

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

Jehovah will count, when he inscribeth the peoples, This [man] was born there. (Selah)

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

As well the singers as the dancers [shall say], All my springs are in thee.
