< Psalms 137 >

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
Ob babilonskih rekah, tam smo se usedli; da, jokali smo, ko smo se spominjali Siona.
2 We hanged our harps on the willows in the middle thereof.
Svoje harfe smo obesili na vrbe v njegovi sredi.
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.
Kajti tam so tisti, ki so nas odvedli proč ujete, od nas zahtevali pesem in tisti, ki so nas opustošili, so od nas zahtevali veselje, rekoč: »Zapojte nam eno izmed sionskih pesmi.«
4 How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?
Kako naj bi v tuji deželi peli Gospodovo pesem?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
Če jaz pozabim tebe, oh Jeruzalem, naj moja desnica pozabi svojo spretnost.
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.
Če se te jaz ne spomnim, naj se moj jezik prilepi k nebu mojih ust, če ne povišam Jeruzalema nad svojo glavno radost.
7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof.
Spomni se, oh Gospod, na Jeruzalemov dan otrok Edóma, ki so rekli: »Izbrišite ga, izbrišite ga, celo do njegovih temeljev.«
8 O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewards you as you have served us.
Oh hči babilonska, ki boš uničena, srečen bo tisti, ki te poplača, kakor si nam ti služila.
9 Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the stones.
Srečen bo tisti, ki zgrabi in trešči tvoje malčke ob kamne.
