Psalms 137

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

Babylon long keng awh ngawi unyng saw Zion ce ka mik poek awh kqang unyng.

2 On the willows in its midst, we hung up our harps.

Cawh tuiqi awh tingtoeng ce hoei unyng,

3 For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: "Sing us one of the songs of Zion."

cawh kaimih anik tukhqi ing laa sak aham ni ceei khqi hy, kaimih anik thekhanaak thlangkhqi ing zeelnaak laa sak aham ni ngaih hy, “Zion a laa pynoet awh sa law lah uh ee!” ni tinak khqi hy.

4 How can we sing the LORD's song in a foreign land?

Ikawmyihna thlang a qam na Bawipa a laa ce ka mi sak thai kaw?

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten.

Aw Jerusalem, nang ce ka ni hilh awhtaw kak tang ben kut ing a simnaak hilh poe lawt seh.

6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you; if I do not prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Nang amni sim voel nyng saw, ka zeelnaak soeih Jerusalem, nang ce am ka nik poek voel hawh awhtaw, kam lai ing dangkhyl na bet qu qap seh.

7 Remember, LORD, against the descendants of Edom, the day of Jerusalem; who said, "Raze it. Raze it even to its foundation."

Aw Bawipa, Jerusalem a zawk nyn awhkaw Edomkhqi ing ik-oeih ami sai ce, sim loet lah. “Hre bang tlang, tung nang lingnaak dyna phu bang tlang uh!” tinawh amik khy ce.

8 Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be blessed who rewards you, as you have served us.

Aw Babylon canu, ak plawci hly kawi, kaimih ak khan awh ik-oeih na sainaak amyihna, nang ak khan awh ik-oeih ak thung lawkhqi zeel kawm uh –

9 Blessed shall he be who takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.

na naacakhqi ce amim tu law coengawh lung khawng na kawm uh.
