Psalms 137

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

Kando ya mito ya Babeli tuliketi na tulilia tulipokumbuka kuhusu Sayuni.

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

Tulitundika vinubi vyetu kwenye miti ya Babylon.

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.

Huko watekaji wetu walitaka tuwaimbie, na wale walio tudhihaki walitutaka sisi tufurahi, wakisema, “Tuimbieni moja ya nyimbo za Sayuni.”

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

Tungewezaje kuimba wimbo unaomuhusu Yahwe katika nchi ya ugeni?

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

Kama nikikusahau wewe, Yerusalemu, basi mkono wangu wa kuume na usahau ujuzi wake.

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.

Ulimi wangu na ushikamane juu ya kinywa changu kama nisipokufikiria tena, na kama sipendelei zaidi Yerusalemu kuliko furaha yangu kuu.

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.

Kumbuka, Ee Yahwe, kile walichofanya Waedomu siku ya anguko la Yerusalemu. Walisema, “Ibomoeni, ibomoeni mpaka chini kwenye misingi yake.”

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

Binti za Babeli, hivi karibuni wataharibiwa- mtu na abalikiwe, yeyote atakaye walipizia yale mliotufanyia sisi.

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

Mtu na abarikiwe, yeyote achukuaye na kusambaratisha watoto wenu juu ya jiwe.
