Gesami Hea:su 137

1 Ba: bilone hano bega: ninia da fi dialu. Amogawi, ninia da Saione Moilai Bai Bagade dawa: beba: le, fofagini dinanu.

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

2 Ninia da ‘yodima’ ifa damana, ninia sani baidama gosagisi.

We hung our harps upon the willows in its midst.

3 Dunu amo da nini gagulaligi, ilia da ninima amane sia: i, “Ninia hahawane nabima: ne, Saione ea hou olelema: ne, gesami hea: ma.”

For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

4 Be ninia da habodane ga fi soge ganodini, Hina Godema nodone gesami hea: ma: bela: ?

How shall we sing the LORD’S song in a foreign land?

5 Yelusaleme! Na da di gogolesea, na da sani baidama bu hamedafa dumu da defea.

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her skill.

6 Na da di gogolesea, amola di da na baligili hahawane hou bai diala amo hame dawa: sea, na da bu gesami hea: mu logo hamedafa ba: mu da defea.

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

7 Hina Gode! Idome dunu ilia da Yelusaleme doagala: le, hasalasi dagoi, Dia amo hou bu dawa: ma. Ilia amane sia: i, “Yelusaleme dafawanedafa muguluma.” Dia amo hou bu dawa: ma.

Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to its foundation

8 Ba: bilone moilai bai bagade! Di da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu. Di da ninima wadela: i hou bagade hamobeba: le, nowa da dima se dabe iasea, da hahawane bagade ba: mu.

O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

9 E da dia mano dudubu amo sasamogene, gele da: iya gisalu gagala: mu da defea.

Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
