Psalms 137

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

KIT momoder ni kailan pilap en Papel o janejan, ni ni tamanda Jion.

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

Kit lanadar at arp akan nin tuka kan, me mi waja o.

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.

Pwe me jali kit edi inda, jen kaul, o jen pereperen ni at mamaiei: Komail wiai on kit kaul apot duen Jion.

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

Iaduen at pan kak wiada kaul nil leowa nan jap en men wai?

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

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

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.

Lo i pan paj on pan natanat ai, ma i jolar pan taman uk adar, ma i jolar pan peren kida Ierujalem mon meakaroj.

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

Main leowa, kom kotin tamanda en men Edom ar lokolokaia ni ran apwal en lerujalem Kawela, kawela lao Iel on nan pwel!

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

Toun Papel, morjued koe, re meid pai, me pan wiai on uk duen me koe wiadar!

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

Meid pai ir, me pan koledi noum jeri pwelel o kajuk pajan nin takai!
