詩篇 137

1 われらバビロンの河のほとりにすわり シオンをおもひいでて涙をながしぬ

By the riuers of Babel we sate, and there wee wept, when we remembred Zion.

2 われらそのあたりの柳にわが琴をかけたり

Wee hanged our harpes vpon the willowes in the middes thereof.

3 そはわれらを虜にせしものわれらに歌をもとめたり 我儕をくるしむる者われらにおのれを歓ばせんとて シオンのうた一つうたへといへり

Then they that ledde vs captiues, required of vs songs and mirth, when wee had hanged vp our harpes, saying, Sing vs one of the songs of Zion.

4 われら外邦にありていかでヱホバの歌をうたはんや

Howe shall we sing, said we, a song of the Lord in a strange land?

5 エルサレムよもし我なんぢをわすれなばわが右の手にその巧をわすれしめたまへ

If I forget thee, O Ierusalem, let my right hand forget to play.

6 もしわれ汝を思ひいでず もしわれヱルサレムをわがすべての歓喜の極となさずばわが舌をわが腭につかしめたまヘ

If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of my mouth: yea, if I preferre not Ierusalem to my chiefe ioy.

7 ヱホバよねがはくはヱルサレムの日にエドムの子輩がこれを掃除けその基までもはらひのぞけといへるを聖意にとめたまへ

Remember the children of Edom, O Lord, in the day of Ierusalem, which saide, Rase it, rase it to the foundation thereof.

8 ほろぼさるべきバビロンの女よ なんぢがわれらに作しごとく汝にむくゆる人はさいはひなるべし

O daughter of Babel, worthy to be destroyed, blessed shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast serued vs.

9 なんぢの嬰兒をとりて岩のうへになげうつものは福ひなるべし

Blessed shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy children against the stones.
