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 o janejan, ni ni tamanda Jion.

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

Kit lanadar at arp akan nin tuka kan, me mi waja 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 jali kit edi inda, jen kaul, o jen pereperen ni at mamaiei: Komail wiai on kit kaul apot duen Jion.

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

Iaduen at pan kak wiada kaul nil leowa nan jap en men wai?

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

Ma i pan monoke uk ala Ierujalem, pa i pali maun ap pil pun 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 paj on pan natanat ai, ma i jolar pan taman uk adar, ma i jolar pan peren kida Ierujalem mon meakaroj.

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!

Main leowa, kom kotin tamanda en men Edom ar lokolokaia ni ran apwal en lerujalem Kawela, kawela lao Iel on 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, morjued koe, re meid pai, me pan wiai on 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 jeri pwelel o kajuk pajan nin takai!
