Amahubo 87

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

A psalm of the sons of Korah; a song. On the holy mount stands the city he founded;

2 uThixo uyawathanda amasango eZiyoni okudlula yonke imizi kaJakhobe.

Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the tents of Jacob.

3 Izinto ezinhle okumangalisayo ziyatshiwo ngawe, we muzi kaNkulunkulu:

Glorious things are said of you, city of God. (Selah)

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

“I mention Rahab and Babylon to my followers. See, there are Philistia, and Tyre, along with Cush— and will say, 'This one was born there.'”

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

Of Zion it will be said, “Each of these was born in her; and the Most High himself will establish her.”

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

Yahweh writes in the census book of the nations, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

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

So also the singers and the dancers say together, “All my fountains are in you.”
