Psalms 137

1 Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: when we remembered Sion:

Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Kaimouh teh Babilon palang teng ka tahung awh teh, Zion ka pouk awh dawkvah, ka ka awh.

2 On the willows in the midst thereof we hung up our instruments.

Kaimae ratoungnaw hah sumpakung dawk ka bang awh.

3 For there they that led us into captivity required of us the words of songs. And they that carried us away, said: Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.

Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koe maimouh na ka man niteh, na kahrawinaw ni kai koe la a hei awh. Kaimouh karektapnaw ni hai amamouh nawm nahanelah Zion la kaimouh hanlah sak haw ati awh.

4 How shall we sing the song of the Lord in a strange land?

Kaimouh ni Jentelnaw e ram dawk bangtelamaw BAWIPA pholennae la ka sak thai awh han vaw.

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.

Oe Jerusalem, nang hah kai ni na pahnim pawiteh, kama e aranglae kut ni a tawksak thai e hah pahnim naseh.

6 Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, if I do not remember thee: If I make not Jerusalem the beginning of my joy.

Nang hah na pouk hoeh boilah, Jerusalem hah ka lunghawinae lathueng ka hrueng hoeh pawiteh, ka lai teh ka dangka dawk kâbet naseh.

7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom, in the day of Jerusalem: Who say: Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

Oe BAWIPA, Jerusalem a rawp nah hnin vah, raphoe awh, khomdu totouh raphoe awh telah kahram awh e Edomnaw hah pouk haw.

8 O daughter of Babylon, miserable: blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.

Oe Babilon canu, raphoe lah na o han toe. Kaimouh koe na sak e patetlah, nang koe ka patho e teh a lunghawi naseh.

9 Blessed be he that shall take and dash thy little ones against the rock.

Nange camonaw hah kaman niteh, talung dawk rekrek ka suk e teh a lunghawi naseh.
