Psalms 87

1 A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. His foundation is in the holy mountains.

Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Yawe atia moboko ya Siona na likolo ya bangomba ya bule.

2 Yahweh loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Yawe alingaka bikuke ya Siona koleka bandako nyonso ya Jakobi.

3 Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. (Selah)

Oh engumba ya Nzambe, maloba ya nkembo ezali kolobama na tina na yo!

4 I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Behold, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: “This one was born there.”

Kati na bato oyo bayebi ngai, natangi Rahavi mpe Babiloni. Ezali kuna na Siona nde Filisitia, Tiri mpe Kushi ebimela.

5 Yes, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one was born in her;” the Most High himself will establish her.

Na tina na Siona, maloba oyo ekolobama: « Bato nyonso babimela awa, mpe ezali Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo nde alendisaka yango. »

6 Yahweh will count, when he writes up the peoples, “This one was born there.” (Selah)

Tango Yawe akomaki kati na buku ya bikolo, akomaki boye mpo na moko na moko kati na bango: « Moto songolo abotama kati na Siona! »

7 Those who sing as well as those who dance say, “All my springs are in you.”

Mpe tango bayembaka mpe babinaka, balobaka: « Bitima na ngai nyonso ezali kati na yo! »
