Psalms 137

1 By rivers of Babylon — There we did sit, Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.

Babylon long keng awh ngawi unyng saw Zion ce ka mik poek awh kqang unyng.

2 On willows in its midst we hung our harps.

Cawh tuiqi awh tingtoeng ce hoei unyng,

3 For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And our spoilers — joy: 'Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.'

cawh kaimih anik tukhqi ing laa sak aham ni ceei khqi hy, kaimih anik thekhanaak thlangkhqi ing zeelnaak laa sak aham ni ngaih hy, “Zion a laa pynoet awh sa law lah uh ee!” ni tinak khqi hy.

4 How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a stranger?

Ikawmyihna thlang a qam na Bawipa a laa ce ka mi sak thai kaw?

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth!

Aw Jerusalem, nang ce ka ni hilh awhtaw kak tang ben kut ing a simnaak hilh poe lawt seh.

6 My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Nang amni sim voel nyng saw, ka zeelnaak soeih Jerusalem, nang ce am ka nik poek voel hawh awhtaw, kam lai ing dangkhyl na bet qu qap seh.

7 Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, 'Rase, rase to its foundation!'

Aw Bawipa, Jerusalem a zawk nyn awhkaw Edomkhqi ing ik-oeih ami sai ce, sim loet lah. “Hre bang tlang, tung nang lingnaak dyna phu bang tlang uh!” tinawh amik khy ce.

8 O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us.

Aw Babylon canu, ak plawci hly kawi, kaimih ak khan awh ik-oeih na sainaak amyihna, nang ak khan awh ik-oeih ak thung lawkhqi zeel kawm uh –

9 O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock!

na naacakhqi ce amim tu law coengawh lung khawng na kawm uh.
