< Psalms 137 >
1 On the floodis of Babiloyne there we saten, and wepten; while we bithouyten on Syon.
Tañ’olon-tsaka e Bavele eo, ty nitoboha’ay naho nirovetse, t’ie nahatiahy i Tsiône.
2 In salewis in the myddil therof; we hangiden vp oure orguns.
Amo sohihy añivo’eo ty nandradoradoa’ay o marovani’aio,
3 For thei that ledden vs prisoners; axiden vs there the wordis of songis. And thei that ledden awei vs seiden; Synge ye to vs an ympne of the songis of Syon.
Teo ty nihalalia’ o mpanese anaio sabo, naho nipaia’ o mpampisoañ’ anaio rebeke, ami’ty hoe: Isabò o sabo’ i Tsiôneo.
4 Hou schulen we singe a songe of the Lord; in an alien lond?
Aa vaho akore ty hisaboentika ty sabo’ Iehovà an-tanen’ ambahiny atoy?
5 If Y foryete thee, Jerusalem; my riyt hond be youun to foryeting.
Naho haliñoko irehe ry Ierosalaime, le angao ho kombimba ty sirako havana.
6 Mi tunge cleue to my chekis; if Y bithenke not on thee. If Y purposide not of thee, Jerusalem; in the bigynnyng of my gladnesse.
Adono hipitek’ ami’ty lañilañiko ty lelako, naho tsy mahatiahy azo iraho, lehe tsy aonjoko ambone’ ze mahafale ahiko iaby t’Ierosalaime.
7 Lord, haue thou mynde on the sones of Edom; for the dai of Jerusalem. Whiche seien, Anyntische ye, anyntische ye; `til to the foundement ther ynne.
Tiahio ry Iehovà ty kabò’o amo nte Edomeo tañ’andro’ Ierosalaime: Rotsaho! hoe iereo, akoromaho pak’amo mananta’eo!
8 Thou wretchid douyter of Babiloyne; he is blessid, that `schal yelde to thee thi yelding, which thou yeldidist to vs.
Ry anak-ampela’ i Bavele, harotsake irehe, haha ty hañavak’azo amy nañondroha’o ama’aio.
9 He is blessid, that schal holde; and hurtle doun hise litle children at a stoon.
Fale ty handrambe o anak’ajaja’oo, handretsake iareo an-damilamy eo.
