Psalms 137

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

KIT momoder ni kailan pilap en Papel akan o sangesang, ni at tamanda Sion.

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

Kit langadar at arp akan nin tuka kan, me mi wasa o,

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.

Pwe me sali kit edi inda, sen kaul, o sen pereperen ni at mamaiei: Komail wiai ong kit kaul apot duen Sion.

4 How should we sing a song of Jehovah's upon a foreign soil?

Iaduen at pan kak wiada kaul ong Ieowa nan sap en men wai?

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

Ma i pan monoke uk ala Ierusalem, pa i pali maun ap pil pan monokinokla.

6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to my palate: if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Lo i pan pas ong pan ngatangat ai, ma i solar pan taman uk adar, ma i solar pan peren kida Ierusalem mon meakaros.

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!

Maing Ieowa, kom kotin tamanda en men Edom ar lokolokaia ni ran apwal en Ierusalem: Kawela, kawela lao lel ong nan pwel!

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

Toun Papel, morsued koe, re meid pai, me pan wiai ong uk duen me koe wiadar!

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

Meid pai ir, me pan koledi noum seri pwelel o kasuk pasang nin takai!
