Psalms 137

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

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

2 On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.

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

3 For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

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

4 How can we sing the LORD’s song in a foreign land?

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

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

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

6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

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.

7 Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”

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.

8 Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.

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.

9 Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.

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