Zabura 137

1 A bakin kogunan Babilon muka zauna muka yi kuka sa’ad da muka tuna da Sihiyona.

By rivers of Babylon—There we sat, Indeed, we wept when we remembered Zion.

2 A can a kan rassan itatuwa muka rataye garayunmu,

We hung our harps on willows in its midst.

3 gama a can masu kamunmu suka sa mu yi waƙoƙi, masu ba mu azaba suka nema waƙoƙin farin ciki; suka ce, “Ku rera mana ɗaya daga cikin waƙoƙin Sihiyona!”

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

4 Yaya za mu rera waƙoƙin Ubangiji a baƙuwar ƙasa?

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

5 In na manta da ke, ya Urushalima, bari hannuna na dama manta da iyawarsa.

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgets!

6 Bari harshena yă manne wa rufin bakina in ban tuna da ke ba, in ban so Urushalima farin cikin mafi girma ba.

My tongue cleaves to my palate, If I do not remember you, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.

7 Ka tuna, ya Ubangiji, abin da mutanen Edom suka yi a ranar da Urushalima ta fāɗi. Suka yi ihu suka ce, “A ragargaza ta, A ragargaza ta har tushenta!”

Remember, YHWH, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, “Raze, raze to its foundation!”

8 Ya Diyar Babilon, an ƙaddara ke zuwa hallaka, mai farin ciki ne wanda ya sāka miki saboda abin da kika yi mana,

O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the blessedness of him who repays to you your deed, That you have done to us.

9 shi da ya ƙwace jariranki ya fyaɗa su a kan duwatsu.

O the blessedness of him who seizes, and has dashed your sucklings on the rock!
