Psalms 137

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat, and we also wept when we remembered Zion.

Ba: bilone hano bega: ninia da fi dialu. Amogawi, ninia da Saione Moilai Bai Bagade dawa: beba: le, fofagini dinanu.

2 Upon the willows in her midst had we hung up our harps.

Ninia da ‘yodima’ ifa damana, ninia sani baidama gosagisi.

3 For there our captors demanded of us the words of song; and those that mocked us, joy, [saying, ] Sing for us one of the songs of Zion.

Dunu amo da nini gagulaligi, ilia da ninima amane sia: i, “Ninia hahawane nabima: ne, Saione ea hou olelema: ne, gesami hea: ma.”

4 How should we sing the song of the Lord on the soil of the stranger?

Be ninia da habodane ga fi soge ganodini, Hina Godema nodone gesami hea: ma: bela: ?

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget—.

Yelusaleme! Na da di gogolesea, na da sani baidama bu hamedafa dumu da defea.

6 May my tongue cleave to my palate if I do not remember thee: if I recall not Jerusalem at the head of my joy.

Na da di gogolesea, amola di da na baligili hahawane hou bai diala amo hame dawa: sea, na da bu gesami hea: mu logo hamedafa ba: mu da defea.

7 Remember, O Lord, unto the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said, Raze it, raze it, even to her very foundation.

Hina Gode! Idome dunu ilia da Yelusaleme doagala: le, hasalasi dagoi, Dia amo hou bu dawa: ma. Ilia amane sia: i, “Yelusaleme dafawanedafa muguluma.” Dia amo hou bu dawa: ma.

8 O daughter of Babylon, who art wasted: happy he, that repayeth thee thy recompense for what thou hast done to us.

Ba: bilone moilai bai bagade! Di da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu. Di da ninima wadela: i hou bagade hamobeba: le, nowa da dima se dabe iasea, da hahawane bagade ba: mu.

9 Happy he, that seizeth and dasheth thy babes against the rock.

E da dia mano dudubu amo sasamogene, gele da: iya gisalu gagala: mu da defea.
