Psalms 137

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

Babylon long keng awh ngawi unyng saw Zion ce ka mik poek awh kqang unyng.

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

Cawh tuiqi awh tingtoeng ce hoei unyng,

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.

cawh kaimih anik tukhqi ing laa sak aham ni ceei khqi hy, kaimih anik thekhanaak thlangkhqi ing zeelnaak laa sak aham ni ngaih hy, “Zion a laa pynoet awh sa law lah uh ee!” ni tinak khqi hy.

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

Ikawmyihna thlang a qam na Bawipa a laa ce ka mi sak thai kaw?

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

Aw Jerusalem, nang ce ka ni hilh awhtaw kak tang ben kut ing a simnaak hilh poe lawt seh.

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 amni sim voel nyng saw, ka zeelnaak soeih Jerusalem, nang ce am ka nik poek voel hawh awhtaw, kam lai ing dangkhyl na bet qu qap seh.

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

Aw Bawipa, Jerusalem a zawk nyn awhkaw Edomkhqi ing ik-oeih ami sai ce, sim loet lah. “Hre bang tlang, tung nang lingnaak dyna phu bang tlang uh!” tinawh amik khy ce.

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

Aw Babylon canu, ak plawci hly kawi, kaimih ak khan awh ik-oeih na sainaak amyihna, nang ak khan awh ik-oeih ak thung lawkhqi zeel kawm uh –

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

na naacakhqi ce amim tu law coengawh lung khawng na kawm uh.
