Psalms 137

1 A Psalm of David: to Jeremiah. Above the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept, while we remembered Zion.

Iti igid dagiti karayan ti Babilonia, nagtugaw ken nagsangsangitkami idi napanunotmi ti maipanggep iti Sion.

2 By the willow trees, in their midst, we hung up our instruments.

Kadagiti kayo ti karawawe, insab-itmi sadiay dagiti arpami.

3 For, in that place, those who led us into captivity questioned us about the words of the songs. And those who carried us away said: “Sing us a hymn from the songs of Zion.”

Dagiti nangtiliw kadakami sadiay kayatda nga agkantakami, ken dagiti nanglalais kadakami kayatda nga agragsakkami, a kunada, “Kantaandakami iti maysa kadagiti kanta ti Sion.”

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

Kasanokami a makakanta iti saniweng maipapan kenni Yahweh iti ganggannaet a daga?

5 If I ever forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.

No iyaleng-alengko ti pakalaglagipan kenka, O Jerusalem, malipatan koma ti makannawan nga imak ti laingna.

6 May my tongue adhere to my jaws, if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem first, as the beginning of my joy.

Dumket koma ti dilak iti ngaresko no saankan a panunoten ni kaanoman, no saanen a ti Jerusalem ti imbilangko a naindaklan a pakaragsakak.

7 O Lord, call to mind the sons of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem, who say: “Despoil it, despoil it, even to its foundation.”

Lagipem, O Yahweh ti inaramid dagiti Edomita iti aldaw a narba ti Jerusalem. Kinunada, “Rebbaenyo, rebbaenyo aginggana kadagiti adigina.”

8 O daughter of Babylon, have pity. Blessed is he who will repay you with your payment, which you have paid to us.

Anak a babai ti Babilonia, nga asidegen a madadael – mabendisionan koma ti tao, ti siasinoman a mangibales kenka iti inaramidmo kadakami.

9 Blessed is he who will take hold of your little ones and dash them against the rock.

Mabendisionan koma ti tao, ti siasinoman a mangala ken mangibaot kadagiti ubbingmo iti dakkel a bato.
