Dagiti Salmo 137

1 Iti igid dagiti karayan ti Babilonia, nagtugaw ken nagsangsangitkami idi napanunotmi ti maipanggep iti Sion.

When we sat down by the rivers of Babylon we wept as we remembered Zion.

2 Kadagiti kayo ti karawawe, insab-itmi sadiay dagiti arpami.

We hung up our harps on the willow trees.

3 Dagiti nangtiliw kadakami sadiay kayatda nga agkantakami, ken dagiti nanglalais kadakami kayatda nga agragsakkami, a kunada, “Kantaandakami iti maysa kadagiti kanta ti Sion.”

For those who had taken us captive asked us for a song—our tormentors wanted us to sing a happy song from Jerusalem.

4 Kasanokami a makakanta iti saniweng maipapan kenni Yahweh iti ganggannaet a daga?

But how could we sing a song dedicated to the Lord in a pagan land?

5 No iyaleng-alengko ti pakalaglagipan kenka, O Jerusalem, malipatan koma ti makannawan nga imak ti laingna.

If I forget Jerusalem, may my right hand forget how to play;

6 Dumket koma ti dilak iti ngaresko no saankan a panunoten ni kaanoman, no saanen a ti Jerusalem ti imbilangko a naindaklan a pakaragsakak.

May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't remember you—if I don't consider Jerusalem my greatest joy.

7 Lagipem, O Yahweh ti inaramid dagiti Edomita iti aldaw a narba ti Jerusalem. Kinunada, “Rebbaenyo, rebbaenyo aginggana kadagiti adigina.”

Lord, please remember what the people of Edom did on the day Jerusalem fell, the ones who said “Tear it down! Destroy it down to its foundations!”

8 Anak a babai ti Babilonia, nga asidegen a madadael – mabendisionan koma ti tao, ti siasinoman a mangibales kenka iti inaramidmo kadakami.

Daughter of Babylon, you will be destroyed! Happy is the one who pays you back, who does to you what you did to us!

9 Mabendisionan koma ti tao, ti siasinoman a mangala ken mangibaot kadagiti ubbingmo iti dakkel a bato.

Happy is the one who grabs your children and smashes them against the rocks!
