Psalms 137

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

KIT momoder ni kailan pilap en Papel akan o sangesang, ni at tamanda Sion.

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

Kit langadar at arp akan nin tuka kan, me mi wasa o,

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.'

Pwe me sali kit edi inda, sen kaul, o sen pereperen ni at mamaiei: Komail wiai ong kit kaul apot duen Sion.

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

Iaduen at pan kak wiada kaul ong Ieowa nan sap en men wai?

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

Ma i pan monoke uk ala Ierusalem, pa i pali maun ap pil pan monokinokla.

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.

Lo i pan pas ong pan ngatangat ai, ma i solar pan taman uk adar, ma i solar pan peren kida Ierusalem mon meakaros.

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

Maing Ieowa, kom kotin tamanda en men Edom ar lokolokaia ni ran apwal en Ierusalem: Kawela, kawela lao lel ong nan pwel!

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

Toun Papel, morsued koe, re meid pai, me pan wiai ong uk duen me koe wiadar!

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

Meid pai ir, me pan koledi noum seri pwelel o kasuk pasang nin takai!
