Psalms 137

1 By the riuers of Babel we sate, and there wee wept, when we remembred Zion.

Babylon tuiva ah te ka ngol uh tih Zion ka poek uh vaengah ka rhap uh.

2 Wee hanged our harpes vpon the willowes in the middes thereof.

A khui kah tuirhi dongah ka rhotoeng te ka bang uh.

3 Then they that ledde vs captiues, required of vs songs and mirth, when wee had hanged vp our harpes, saying, Sing vs one of the songs of Zion.

Kaimih aka sol rhoek kaimih te laa ol hnap n'dawt uh. Kaimih aka parhaengkung long khaw, “Zion laa te kaimih ham kohoenah neh hlai uh lah,” a ti uh.

4 Howe shall we sing, said we, a song of the Lord in a strange land?

Balae tih BOEIPA laa he kholong kho ah ka hlai uh eh?

5 If I forget thee, O Ierusalem, let my right hand forget to play.

Jerusalem nang te kan hnilh atah ka bantang kut he hnilh uh saeh.

6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of my mouth: yea, if I preferre not Ierusalem to my chiefe ioy.

Nang te kan thoelh pawt tih, Jerusalem te ka kohoenah somtung la ka pacuet pawt atah ka lai he ka dang la kap uh saeh.

7 Remember the children of Edom, O Lord, in the day of Ierusalem, which saide, Rase it, rase it to the foundation thereof.

BOEIPA aw Jerusalem tue vaengkah Edom koca rhoek loh, “A khoengim duela kingling uh kingling uh,” a ti uh te poek pah.

8 O daughter of Babel, worthy to be destroyed, blessed shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast serued vs.

Hlang aka rhoelrhak Babylon nu aw, kaimih taengah na saii bangla na thaphu te namah taengah aka thuung tah a yoethen.

9 Blessed shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy children against the stones.

Na camoe rhoek te a tuuk tih, thaelpang dongah aka phop tah a yoethen.
