Psalms 137

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

Ob rekah Babilonskih, ondi smo sedeli ter jokali, spominjajoč se Sijona.

2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

Na vrbe v deželi obesili smo strune svoje,

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.

Dasì so tam hoteli od nas veselih pesmi, ki so nas odpeljavali vjete, in ki so mučili nas govoreč: Pojte nam katero pesmi Sijonskih.

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

Kako bi bili peli pesem Gospodovo v tujcev deželi?

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

Če pozabim tebe, Jeruzalem, pozabi naj se desnica moja.

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

Jezik moj naj se mi prijemlje neba, ako se ne spominjam tebe, ako ne povzdigujem Jeruzalema nad glavo radosti svoje.

7 Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it, even] to the foundation thereof.

Spomni se, Gospod, zoper Edomejce dneva Jeruzalemskega; kateri so rekli: "Razvalite, razvalite; dokler bode kaj podzidja v njem!"

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

Rod Babilonski naj se pokončá; blagor mu, kdor ti bode povrnil hudodelstvo, katero si nam storil.

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

Blagor, kdor zgrabi in razdrobi otroke tvoje ob skalo!
