Psalms 137

1 At [the] rivers of - Babylon there we sat also we wept when remembered we Zion.

Mʼmbali mwa mitsinje ya ku Babuloni tinakhala pansi ndi kulira pamene tinakumbukira Ziyoni.

2 On poplars in [the] midst of it we hung up harps our.

Kumeneko, pa mitengo ya misondozi tinapachika apangwe athu,

3 For there they asked us captors our words of a song and mockers our gladness sing for us one of [the] song[s] of Zion.

pakuti anthu otigwira ukapolo anatipempha kuti tiyimbe nyimbo. Otizunza athu anafuna nyimbo zachisangalalo; iwo anati, “Tiyimbireni imodzi mwa nyimbo za ku Ziyoni!”

4 How? will we sing [the] song of Yahweh on ground of foreignness.

Tingayimbe bwanji nyimbo za Yehova mʼdziko lachilendo?

5 If I will forget you O Jerusalem may it forget right [hand] my.

Ndikakuyiwala iwe Yerusalemu, dzanja langa lamanja liyiwale luso lake.

6 May it cleave tongue my - to palate my if not I will remember you if not I will lift up Jerusalem above [the] chief of joy my.

Lilime langa limamatire ku nkhama za mʼkamwa mwanga ndikapanda kukukumbukira iwe Yerusalemu, ngati sindiyesa iwe chimwemwe changa chachikulu.

7 Remember O Yahweh - to [the] people of Edom [the] day of Jerusalem who were saying lay bare - lay bare to the foundation in it.

Kumbukirani, Inu Yehova, zimene Aedomu anachita pa tsiku limene Yerusalemu anagonja. Iwowo anafuwula kuti, “Mugwetseni pansi, mugwetseni pansi mpaka pa maziko ake!”

8 O daughter of Babylon that is about to be destroyed how blessed! [is one] who he will repay to you dealing your that you dealt to us.

Iwe mwana wa mkazi wa Babuloni, woyenera kuwonongedwa, wodalitsika ndi yemwe adzakubwezera pa zimene watichitira.

9 How blessed! - [is one] who he will seize and he will smash children your to the rock.

Amene adzagwira makanda ako ndi kuwakankhanthitsa pa miyala.
