Psalms 137

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

Ke kut muta sisken infacl Babylon, Kut tung we ke kut esamak Zion.

2 On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.

Kut srupusrak harp natusr Ulun sak willow su tu siskasr.

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!”

Elos su sruokkuti elos sap kut in on; Elos sap kut in akpwaryalos, Ac fahk, “Yuk soko on ke acn Zion kut in lohng.”

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

Kut ac on fuka soko on nu sin LEUM GOD In sie facl sac?

5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill.

Lela tuh nga in tia sifil ku in srital ke harp Nga fin mulkinkomla, Jerusalem!

6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don’t remember you, if I don’t prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Lela nga in tia sifil ku in on Nga fin tia esam kom, Nga fin tia nunku mu kom pa mwe insewowo yohk emeet luk uh!

7 Remember, LORD, against the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem, who said, “Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!”

O LEUM GOD, esam ma mwet Edom elos tuh oru Ke len se sruhu acn Jerusalem. Esam lah elos tuh fahk, “Sukella! Sukella nwe ke musalsalu fin fohk uh!”

8 Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy who repays you, as you have done to us.

Babylon, kom ac fah kunausyukla. Insewowo elos su fah folokin nu sum Ma kom tuh oru nu sesr —

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

Su ac fah eisla tulik fusr nutuwos Ac sakunulos fin eot uh.
