< Zaburi 137 >
1 E bath aore mag Babulon ne wabet piny kendo ne waywak kane waparo Sayun.
Babilonia nsubɔnten ho, ɛhɔ na yɛtena suu bere a yɛkaee Sion no.
2 Ne wangʼawo thumbewa ewi omburi mane ni kanyo,
Ɛhɔ konkɔn so nnua mu na yɛde yɛn asanku sensɛnee,
3 nimar joma ne omakowa nokwayowa wende kane wan kanyo, joma nesandowa nochunowa ni wawernegi wende mor; negiwachonwa niya, “Wernwauru achiel kuom wende Sayun!”
ɛhɔ na yɛn nnommumfafo kaa se yɛnto nnwom, yɛn ahohiafo hwehwɛɛ anigye nnwom fii yɛn nkyɛn; wɔkae se, “Monto Sion nnwom baako nkyerɛ yɛn!”
4 Ere kaka wanyalo wero wende Jehova Nyasaye kapod wan e piny ma wendo?
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛatumi ato Awurade nnwom, bere a yɛwɔ ananafo asase so?
5 Ka dipo ni wiya owil kodi, yaye Jerusalem, to mad lweta ma korachwich wiye wil gi tichne.
Yerusalem, sɛ me werɛ fi wo a ma me nsa nifa werɛ mfi sankubɔ.
6 Mad lewa moki e danda ka dipo ni ok apari, ka dipo ni ok aketo chunya kuomi, yaye Jerusalem, morna maduongʼ mogik.
Sɛ mankae wo a, ma me tɛkrɛma nka ntare mʼanom sɛ mamfa Yerusalem sɛ mʼanigyede kɛse pa ara a.
7 Parie gima ne jo-Edom otimo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, parie gima negitimo chiengʼ mane Jerusalem opodho. Ne gikok matek niya, “Mukeuru ogoye piny. Mukeuru ogore piny gi mise mare duto!”
Kae, Awurade, nea Edomfo yɛɛ da a Yerusalem hwee ase no. Wɔteɛɛ mu se, “Munnwiriw, munnwiriw ngu fam nkɔka ne fapem!”
8 Yaye nyar Babulon, in mochanni kethruok, ngʼama nochuli kuom gima isetimonwa en jahawi,
Ɔbabea Babilonia, wɔadome wo akɔ ɔsɛe mu, nea otua wo ka bio ani gye wɔ nea wode ayɛ yɛn no ho.
9 ngʼat manomak nyithindi mayom mi gogi piny e lwendni en jahawi.
Nea ɔkyere wo nkokoaa de wɔn dwiradwira abotan no ani gye.
