Psalms 137

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

Va muenda minlangu minneni mi Babiloni; tuvuanda ayi tudila bu tutebukila Sioni moyo.

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

Kuna tudengidika zingitala zieto mu minti.

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.

Bila kuna, batu bobo batukanga mu kivika batulomba tuyimbila minkunga; minyamisi mieto mituyuvula minkunga mi khini; batuba: “lutuyimbidila nkunga wumosi mu minkunga mi Sioni.”

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

A buevi tulenda yimbidila minkunga mi Yave mu ntoto wu kinzenza e?

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

Enati ndizimbikini, a Yelusalemi; bika koko kuama ku lubakala kuzimbakana zitsembo ziandi.

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.

Bika ludimi luama lunama mu mianzi mi munu ama enati ndikadi kutebukila moyo, enati ndikadi ba mayindu mu Yelusalemi, khini ama yoyo yilutidi zangama.

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.

Tebuka moyo, a Yave, momo basi Edomi bavanga mu lumbu kibua Yelusalemi, Bayamikina: “lutiolumuna, lutiolumuna nate muna zifundasio ziandi.”

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.

A muana ndumba wu Babiloni, ngeyo wukubuku mu bungu; khini kuidi mutu wowo wukuvutudila mambu momo wutuvangila.

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

Khini kuidi mutu wumbuila bana baku batsombi ayi wela kuba banda va matadi.
