Psalms 137

1 On the floodis of Babiloyne there we saten, and wepten; while we bithouyten on Syon.

Nu yeroo Xiyoonin yaadannetti, lageen Baabilon bira teenyee boonye.

2 In salewis in the myddil therof; we hangiden vp oure orguns.

Achittis kiraara keenya muka alaltuutti fannifne;

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.

achitti warri nu boojiʼan faarfannaa, warri nu dhiphisanis, “Faarfannaawwan Xiyoon keessaa tokko nuu faarfadhaa!” jedhanii akka nu faarfannaa gammachuu isaaniif faarfannu nu gaafatan.

4 Hou schulen we singe a songe of the Lord; in an alien lond?

Nu utuu biyya ormaa jirruu, akkamitti faarfannaa Waaqayyoo faarfachuu dandeenya?

5 If Y foryete thee, Jerusalem; my riyt hond be youun to foryeting.

Yaa Yerusaalem, yoo ani si irraanfadhe, harki koo mirgaa ogummaa isaa haa irraanfatu.

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.

Yoo ani si yaadachuu baadhe, yoo ani gammachuu koo guddichaa olitti Yerusaalemin ilaaluu baadhe, arrabni koo laagaa kootti haa maxxanu.

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.

Yaa Waaqayyo, waan warri Edoom gaafa Yerusaalem diigamte jedhan sana yaadadhu; isaanis, “Ishee diigaa! Hamma hundee isheetti ishee diigaa!” jedhanii iyyan.

8 Thou wretchid douyter of Babiloyne; he is blessid, that `schal yelde to thee thi yelding, which thou yeldidist to vs.

Yaa intala Baabilon, kan baduudhaaf qophoofte, inni waan ati nu goote sanaaf, gatii kee siif kennu eebbifamaa dha.

9 He is blessid, that schal holde; and hurtle doun hise litle children at a stoon.

Inni daaʼimman kee qabee dhagaa irratti caccabsu sun eebbifamaa dha.
