Psalms 137

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

Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Kaimouh teh Babilon palang teng ka tahung awh teh, Zion ka pouk awh dawkvah, ka ka awh.

2 We hanged our harps on the willows in the middle thereof.

Kaimae ratoungnaw hah sumpakung dawk ka bang awh.

3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koe maimouh na ka man niteh, na kahrawinaw ni kai koe la a hei awh. Kaimouh karektapnaw ni hai amamouh nawm nahanelah Zion la kaimouh hanlah sak haw ati awh.

4 How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?

Kaimouh ni Jentelnaw e ram dawk bangtelamaw BAWIPA pholennae la ka sak thai awh han vaw.

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

Oe Jerusalem, nang hah kai ni na pahnim pawiteh, kama e aranglae kut ni a tawksak thai e hah pahnim naseh.

6 If I do not remember you, let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Nang hah na pouk hoeh boilah, Jerusalem hah ka lunghawinae lathueng ka hrueng hoeh pawiteh, ka lai teh ka dangka dawk kâbet naseh.

7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof.

Oe BAWIPA, Jerusalem a rawp nah hnin vah, raphoe awh, khomdu totouh raphoe awh telah kahram awh e Edomnaw hah pouk haw.

8 O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us.

Oe Babilon canu, raphoe lah na o han toe. Kaimouh koe na sak e patetlah, nang koe ka patho e teh a lunghawi naseh.

9 Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the stones.

Nange camonaw hah kaman niteh, talung dawk rekrek ka suk e teh a lunghawi naseh.
