Psalms 137

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

Bò rivyè a Babylone yo, se la nou te chita. Nou te kriye, lè nou te sonje Sion.

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

Sou pye sikrèn nan mitan li an, nou te pandye ap nou yo.

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.

Paske la, ravisè nou yo te mande nou chante pou yo, e bouwo nou yo ak gwo kè kontan, t ap di: “Chante pou nou youn nan chanson Sion yo.”

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

Kijan pou nou ta chante chan SENYÈ a nan yon peyi etranje?

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

Si mwen ta bliye ou, O Jérusalem, kite men dwat mwen bliye kapasite li.

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.

Ke lang mwen kole rèd anlè bouch mwen, Si m pa ta sonje ou, si m pa ta leve Jérusalem wo, pi wo ke pi gwo plezi m yo.

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

Sonje, O SENYÈ, kont fis a Édom yo, jou a Jérusalem nan, ke yo te di: “Raze l nèt! Raze l jis rive nan fondasyon li.”

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

O fi a Babylone nan, Ou menm ki te devaste nou an, A la beni (sila) ki rekonpanse ou ak menm rekonpans ke ou te rekonpanse nou an va beni!

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

A la beni (sila) ki sezi pitit ou yo, e ki kraze yo nan wòch la va beni!
