Halelu 137

1 MA na muliwai o Babulona, malaila kakou i noho iho ai, A uwe aku la i ko kakou hoomanao ana ia Ziona.

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

2 Ma na wilou maloko olaila, I kaulai ai makou i ko makou mea kani.

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

3 No ka mea, malaila, noi mai ka poe i lawe pio ia makou, I na olelo o ke oli; A o ka poe hoinoino ia makou, noi mai lakou e lealea makou, I mai, E oli mai oukou i ka oli o Ziona.

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 Pehea la makou e oli ai i ka oli o Iehova, Ma ka aina malihini?

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

5 Ina e hoopoina au ia oe, e Ierusalema, E poina pu no ko'u lima akua i ka hana,

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

6 I ole au e hoomanao ia oe, E pipili hoi kuu aleio i ka aluna o ko'u waha; I ole hoi e kela aku ko'u makemake ia Ierusalema, Mamua o ko'u mea lealea mai.

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 E Iehova, e hoomanao oe i na keiki o Edoma, I ka la o Ierusalema; I ka poe i olelo mai, E wawahi, e wawahi, A ilalo i ke kumu ona.

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 E ke kaikamahine o Babulona, ka mea e anaiia auanei, E pomaikai auanei ka mea hoopai aku ia oe, i ka hewa, Au i hana hewa mai ai ia makou.

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 E pomaikai no hoi ka mea lalau aku i kau mau keiki, A ulupa ia lakou ilalo i na pohaku.

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