Psalms 137

1 By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion.

Teo amoron’ ny onin’ i Babylona no nipetrahanay, Sady nitomanianay, raha nahatsiaro an’ i Ziona.

2 There on the willows we hung our harps,

Teo amin’ ny hazomalahelo teo afovoan’ i Babylona No nanantonanay ny lokanganay.

3 for there our captors requested a song; our tormentors demanded songs of joy: “Sing us a song of Zion.”

Fa teo dia nangataka anay hihira izay namabo anay; Ary izay nampahory anay nangataka anay hanao fifaliana ka nanao hoe: Manaova hiran’ i Ziona eto anatrehanay.

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

Nefa ho nataontsika ahoana no fihira ny fihiran’ i Jehovah Tany an-tany nivahiniana?

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.

Raha manadino anao aho, ry Jerosalema ô, Aoka kosa ny tanako ankavanana mba hanadino.

6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not exalt Jerusalem as my greatest joy!

Raha tsy mahatsiaro anao aho, Aoka ny lelako hiraikitra amin’ ny lanilaniko, Raha tsy Jerosalema no ataoko ambony indrindra amin’ ny fifaliako rehetra.

7 Remember, O LORD, the sons of Edom on the day Jerusalem fell: “Destroy it,” they said, “tear it down to its foundations!”

Jehovah ô, tsarovy amin’ ny taranak’ i Edoma Ny andron’ i Jerosalema, Dia ireo izay nanao hoe: Ravao, ravao izy Hatramin’ ny fanorenany.

8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, blessed is he who repays you as you have done to us.

Ry Babylona zanakavavy izay efa resy, Sambatra izay mamaly anao Araka izay nataonao taminay.

9 Blessed is he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.

Sambatra izay maka ny zanakao madinika ka manjera azy ho torotoro, Amin’ ny harambato.
