Sòm 137

1 Nou te chita bò larivyè ki nan peyi Babilòn yo, nou t'ap kriye lè nou chonje peyi Siyon.

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

2 Nou te pandye gita nou yo nan branch pye sikren peyi a.

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

3 Moun ki te fè nou prizonye yo t'ap mande pou nou chante pou yo. Moun ki t'ap peze nou yo t'ap mande pou nou anmize yo: -Chante yon chante peyi Siyon pou nou non!

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 Ki jan ou ta vle pou n' chante yon chante Seyè a nan yon peyi etranje?

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

5 Si nou bliye ou, Jerizalèm. se pou nou bliye ki jan pou nou sèvi ak men dwat nou tou.

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

6 Si nou pa chonje ou, si nou pa konsidere ou tankou pi gwo kontantman nou, se pou lang nou kole nan fon bouch nou.

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 Seyè, chonje sa moun peyi Edon yo te fè jou yo te pran lavil Jerizalèm. Chonje jan yo t'ap di: Kraze l'! Kraze l' ratè!

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 Nou menm moun lavil Babilòn, yo gen pou yo fini ak nou yon lè. Benediksyon pou moun ki va fè ou sibi menm bagay ou te fè nou sibi a.

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 Benediksyon pou moun ki va pran pitit ou yo, ki va kraze yo sou gwo wòch!

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