Psalms 137

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

Teo amoron’ ny onin’ i Babylona no nipetrahanay, Sady nitomanianay, raha nahatsiaro an’ i Ziona.

2 Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.

Teo amin’ ny hazomalahelo teo afovoan’ i Babylona No nanantonanay ny lokanganay.

3 For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth: 'Sing us one of the songs of Zion.'

Fa teo dia nangataka anay hihira izay namabo anay; Ary izay nampahory anay nangataka anay hanao fifaliana ka nanao hoe: Manaova hiran’ i Ziona eto anatrehanay.

4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land?

Nefa ho nataontsika ahoana no fihira ny fihiran’ i Jehovah Tany an-tany nivahiniana?

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

Raha manadino anao aho, ry Jerosalema ô, Aoka kosa ny tanako ankavanana mba hanadino.

6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy.

Raha tsy mahatsiaro anao aho, Aoka ny lelako hiraikitra amin’ ny lanilaniko, Raha tsy Jerosalema no ataoko ambony indrindra amin’ ny fifaliako rehetra.

7 Remember, O LORD, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said: 'Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.'

Jehovah ô, tsarovy amin’ ny taranak’ i Edoma Ny andron’ i Jerosalema, Dia ireo izay nanao hoe: Ravao, ravao izy Hatramin’ ny fanorenany.

8 O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that repayeth thee as thou hast served us.

Ry Babylona zanakavavy izay efa resy, Sambatra izay mamaly anao Araka izay nataonao taminay.

9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock.

Sambatra izay maka ny zanakao madinika ka manjera azy ho torotoro, Amin’ ny harambato.
