Psalms 137

1 For David, [a Psalm] of Jeremias. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat; and wept when we remembered Sion.

Iti igid dagiti karayan ti Babilonia, nagtugaw ken nagsangsangitkami idi napanunotmi ti maipanggep iti Sion.

2 We hung our harps on the willows in the midst of it.

Kadagiti kayo ti karawawe, insab-itmi sadiay dagiti arpami.

3 For there they that had taken us captive asked of us the words of a song; and they that had carried us away [asked] a hymn, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Sion.

Dagiti nangtiliw kadakami sadiay kayatda nga agkantakami, ken dagiti nanglalais kadakami kayatda nga agragsakkami, a kunada, “Kantaandakami iti maysa kadagiti kanta ti Sion.”

4 How should we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?

Kasanokami a makakanta iti saniweng maipapan kenni Yahweh iti ganggannaet a daga?

5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [its skill].

No iyaleng-alengko ti pakalaglagipan kenka, O Jerusalem, malipatan koma ti makannawan nga imak ti laingna.

6 May my tongue cleave to my throat, if I do not remember you; if I do not prefer Jerusalem as the chief of my joy.

Dumket koma ti dilak iti ngaresko no saankan a panunoten ni kaanoman, no saanen a ti Jerusalem ti imbilangko a naindaklan a pakaragsakak.

7 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it], even to its foundations.

Lagipem, O Yahweh ti inaramid dagiti Edomita iti aldaw a narba ti Jerusalem. Kinunada, “Rebbaenyo, rebbaenyo aginggana kadagiti adigina.”

8 Wretched daughter of Babylon! blessed [shall he be] who shall reward you as you have rewarded us.

Anak a babai ti Babilonia, nga asidegen a madadael – mabendisionan koma ti tao, ti siasinoman a mangibales kenka iti inaramidmo kadakami.

9 Blessed [shall he be] who shall seize and dash your infants against the rock.

Mabendisionan koma ti tao, ti siasinoman a mangala ken mangibaot kadagiti ubbingmo iti dakkel a bato.
