Psalmowo 137

1 Babilonia tɔsisiwo toe míenɔ, hɛnɔ avi fam, esi míeɖo ŋku Zion dzi.

At [the] rivers of - Babylon there we sat also we wept when remembered we Zion.

2 Míetsɔ míaƒe kasaŋkuwo ku amuti siwo le afi ma,

On poplars in [the] midst of it we hung up harps our.

3 elabena afi mae ame siwo ɖe aboyo mí la bia ha tso mía si le; ame siwo wɔ fu mí la bia dzidzɔhawo tso mía si hegblɔ be, “Midzi Zion hawo dometɔ ɖeka na mí!”

For there they asked us captors our words of a song and mockers our gladness sing for us one of [the] song[s] of Zion.

4 Aleke miadzi Yehowa ƒe hawo le dzronyigba dzi?

How? will we sing [the] song of Yahweh on ground of foreignness.

5 O! Yerusalem, ne meŋlɔ wò be la, nye nuɖusibɔ nèŋlɔ eƒe ŋusẽ be,

If I will forget you O Jerusalem may it forget right [hand] my.

6 eye nye aɖe nelé ɖe nye nu me, ne nyemeɖo ŋku dziwò o, ne nyemebu Yerusalem, nye dzidzɔ kɔkɔtɔ kekeake o.

May it cleave tongue my - to palate my if not I will remember you if not I will lift up Jerusalem above [the] chief of joy my.

7 O! Yehowa, ɖo ŋku nu si Edomtɔwo wɔ la dzi, gbe si gbe wogbã Yerusalem. Wodo ɣli be, “Mimui ƒu anyi, migbãe, va se ɖe eƒe gɔmeɖokpewo dzi ke!”

Remember O Yahweh - to [the] people of Edom [the] day of Jerusalem who were saying lay bare - lay bare to the foundation in it.

8 O! Babilonia vinyɔnu, woɖo wò ɖi na tsɔtsrɔ̃, woayra ame si aɖo nu si nèwɔ mí la teƒe na wò,

O daughter of Babylon that is about to be destroyed how blessed! [is one] who he will repay to you dealing your that you dealt to us.

9 ame si alé wò vidzĩwo axlã ɖe agakpewo.

How blessed! - [is one] who he will seize and he will smash children your to the rock.
