< Amahubo 87 >

1 Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ingoma. Usakhile isisekelo sakhe entabeni engcwele;
For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:
2 uThixo uyawathanda amasango eZiyoni okudlula yonke imizi kaJakhobe.
The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
3 Izinto ezinhle okumangalisayo ziyatshiwo ngawe, we muzi kaNkulunkulu:
Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.
4 “Ngizabalisa uRahabi leBhabhiloni phakathi kwalabo abathi bayangazi iFilistiya leThire, kanye leKhushi ngibe sengisithi, ‘Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.’”
I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.
5 Ngempela kuzathiwa ngeZiyoni, “Lo laloyana bazalelwa khona, kuthi yena oPhezukonke uzaliqinisa.”
Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.
6 UThixo uzaloba eluhlwini lwamabizo abantu: “Lo wazalelwa eZiyoni.”
The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.
7 Bazakuthi betshaya amachacho bahlabele bathi, “Yonke imithombo yami ikuwe.”
The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
