Psalms 137

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

Babilonia tɔsisiwo toe míenɔ, hɛnɔ avi fam, esi míeɖo ŋku Zion dzi.

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

Míetsɔ míaƒe kasaŋkuwo ku amuti siwo le afi ma,

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.

elabena afi mae ame siwo ɖe aboyo mí la bia ha tso mía si le; ame siwo wɔ fu mí la bia dzidzɔhawo tso mía si hegblɔ be, “Midzi Zion hawo dometɔ ɖeka na mí!”

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

Aleke miadzi Yehowa ƒe hawo le dzronyigba dzi?

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

O! Yerusalem, ne meŋlɔ wò be la, nye nuɖusibɔ nèŋlɔ eƒe ŋusẽ be,

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.

eye nye aɖe nelé ɖe nye nu me, ne nyemeɖo ŋku dziwò o, ne nyemebu Yerusalem, nye dzidzɔ kɔkɔtɔ kekeake o.

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.

O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku nu si Edomtɔwo wɔ la dzi, gbe si gbe wogbã Yerusalem. Wodo ɣli be, “Mimui ƒu anyi, migbãe, va se ɖe eƒe gɔmeɖokpewo dzi ke!”

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.

O! Babilonia vinyɔnu, woɖo wò ɖi na tsɔtsrɔ̃, woayra ame si aɖo nu si nèwɔ mí la teƒe na wò,

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

ame si alé wò vidzĩwo axlã ɖe agakpewo.
