< Psalms 137 >
1 By rivers of Babylon—There we sat, Indeed, we wept when we remembered Zion.
Waxaannu ag fadhiisannay webiyaashii Baabuloon, Oo waannu ooynay markii aannu Siyoon soo xusuusannay.
2 We hung our harps on willows in its midst.
Oo waxaannu kataaradahayagii sudhannay geedaha safsaafkaa.
3 For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers—joy: “Sing to us of a song of Zion.”
Waayo, kuwii maxaabiis ahaanta noo watay ayaa halkaas gabayo nagu weyddiistay, Oo kuwii na silciyey ayaa farxad na weyddiistay, oo waxay nagu yidhaahdeen, Noogu gabya gabayadii Siyoon midkood.
4 How do we sing the song of YHWH, On the land of a stranger?
Bal sidee baannu gabaygii Rabbiga ugu gabaynaa Dal qalaad dhexdiis?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgets!
Yeruusaalemay, haddaan ku illoobo, Gacantayda midig ha illowdo sancadeedii.
6 My tongue cleaves to my palate, If I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Carrabkayguna ha ku dhego dhanxanagga afkayga, Haddaanan ku xusuusan, Iyo haddaanan Yeruusaalem ka sii jeclaan Farxaddayda ugu weyn.
7 Remember, YHWH, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, “Raze, raze to its foundation!”
Rabbiyow, soo xusuuso reer Edom, Kuwaasoo maalintii Yeruusaalem yidhi, Dumiya, dumiya, tan iyo aasaaskeeda.
8 O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the blessedness of him who repays to you your deed, That you have done to us.
Gabadha Baabuloonay, waa lagu baabbi'in doonaa, Waxaa faraxsanaan doona kii kaa abaalmariya Sidii aad nagu samaysay.
9 O the blessedness of him who seizes, and has dashed your sucklings on the rock!
Waxaa faraxsanaan doona kii dhallaankaaga qabsada Oo dhagaxa weyn ku dul tuura.
