Psalms 137

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

Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Kaimouh teh Babilon palang teng ka tahung awh teh, Zion ka pouk awh dawkvah, ka ka awh.

2 On willows in its midst we hung our harps.

Kaimae ratoungnaw hah sumpakung dawk ka bang awh.

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.'

Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hmuen koe maimouh na ka man niteh, na kahrawinaw ni kai koe la a hei awh. Kaimouh karektapnaw ni hai amamouh nawm nahanelah Zion la kaimouh hanlah sak haw ati awh.

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

Kaimouh ni Jentelnaw e ram dawk bangtelamaw BAWIPA pholennae la ka sak thai awh han vaw.

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

Oe Jerusalem, nang hah kai ni na pahnim pawiteh, kama e aranglae kut ni a tawksak thai e hah pahnim naseh.

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 hah na pouk hoeh boilah, Jerusalem hah ka lunghawinae lathueng ka hrueng hoeh pawiteh, ka lai teh ka dangka dawk kâbet naseh.

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

Oe BAWIPA, Jerusalem a rawp nah hnin vah, raphoe awh, khomdu totouh raphoe awh telah kahram awh e Edomnaw hah pouk haw.

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.

Oe Babilon canu, raphoe lah na o han toe. Kaimouh koe na sak e patetlah, nang koe ka patho e teh a lunghawi naseh.

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

Nange camonaw hah kaman niteh, talung dawk rekrek ka suk e teh a lunghawi naseh.
