Psalms 137

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

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

2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

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

3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that made us wail [required] mirth, [saying, ] Sing us [one] of the songs 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 should we sing a song of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?

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

5 If I forget thee, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill];

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

6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to my palate: if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief 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 Jehovah, against the sons of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, Lay [it] bare, Lay [it] bare, down to its foundation!

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

8 Daughter of Babylon, who art to be laid waste, happy he that rendereth unto thee that which thou hast meted out to us.

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

9 Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.

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