Ciānas godība
1 Koraha dēlu psalms . Dziesma.
Viņš lika tai pamatus uz svētajiem kalniem!
2 Kungs mīl Ciānas vārtus
vairāk par visiem Jēkaba mājokļiem.
3 Dižas lietas ir teiktas par tevi,
tu, Dieva pilsēta!
4 Man jāpiemin Lepnā un arī Bābele
to vidū, kas mani pazīst!
Redzi, Filistija, Tīra un Kūša –
gan šī, gan tā ir dzimusi tur!
5 Un teiks par Ciānu: gan šis te,
gan tas tur – dzimuši tajā!
Visuaugstais to pats ir dibinājis! –
6 Kungs atzīmē, kad skaita tautas:
gan šī, gan tā dzimusi tur! –
7 Dejodami tie dzied:
visi mani avoti – tevī!
(A psalm and a song by the clan of Korah.)
The Glory of Mount Zion
1 Zion was built by the Lord
on the holy mountain,
2 and he loves that city
more than any other place
in all of Israel.
3 Zion, you are the city of God,
and wonderful things
are told about you.
4 Egypt, Babylonia, Philistia,
Phoenicia, and Ethiopia
are some of those nations
that know you,
and their people all say,
“I was born in Zion.”
5 God Most High will strengthen
the city of Zion.
Then everyone will say,
“We were born here too.”
6 The Lord will make a list
of his people,
and all who were born here
will be included.
7 All who sing or dance will say,
“I too am from Zion.”
